Fairlawn Park

To Whom It May Concern:
I think Pinellas Park is one of the most well-managed cities in the county. However, with all due respect, I do have a question. I am wondering why the city chose to make our beautiful neighborhood so much less lovely the past couple of months. I want to know why they have chosen to remove the trees and bushes around Helen Howarth Park, Forbes Rec Center, and Fire Dept. 34. It was bulldozed, and it now looks like hell on earth with just dirt and a few mutilated, spindly trees. The lovely greenspaces in this area are one of the things that attracted us to it- that and the horse farms and the casual feeling you get living here. Now I see that a lot of the natural areas and wildlife are being destroyed for no apparent reason. They are not in the way of anything, so it just seems so senseless. In fact, this is one of the reasons my husband and I feel it might be time to leave Pinellas Park for "greener pastures". A word to the wise, many studies have shown that people prefer to live (and shop) in areas with lots of mature trees around. It makes people feel safe and nurtured, as well as giving us a landscape that is aesthetically pleasing. Having natural areas gives folks in the community a feeling of well-being and a scenic place to ride horses, walk, and recreate. With Pinellas Park's evident plan to take away our natural areas and make things look as hideous as possible, you can expect property values to go down. It has even been shown that a lack of natural areas adds to the amount of crime and stress in the community. People with a conscience (and people with higher incomes) will not want to live here. Also, we need trees to help our climate be more moderate and livable, and to keep our oxygen levels in our atmosphere replenished. Those who cut down trees and destroy natural areas, especially unnecessarily, are being very self-destructive and short-sighted. They are leading to ill health and unhappiness for people in the community, and taking away the homes of rabbits, birds, and other wildlife. I would like to know how the city justifies cutting down and taking away trees and plants - in a PARK of all places! I mean no offense, but I hope you will consider stopping this practice, and perhaps consider replanting, to remedy the harm that has been done. Thank you for your time and attention to this. I appreciate your consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Sheri Morrison

David has moved back in with his parents again bringing 4 cars plus a trailer of junk with an umbrella in his parents driveway to work on crap and deal drugs. You have ticketed him prior and he finally moved. This is ridiculous and it needs to stop. He put banging on crap at all hours with multiple vehicles stopping all the time. Two cars in the yard haven't been moved for weeks.

Cars leaving and coming to this sober living facility speeds up and down roads at all hours. Several neighbors have complained and asked them to slow down but it is not being listened to. This is a dead end street with many children and we are now afraid to let our small children play outside. I ask that we either get a sign placed with speed limit or saying kids live here or a speed bump to stop the speeding. We need something to prevent a tragedy from happening here.

Occupants of this home are known drug users and thief There are so many different vehicles day and night showing up at random times and always staying just for a few moments There are also a boatload of bikes and frames in the backyard Our cameras watch them in the backyard disassemble these bikes Random people drop them off all the time Lots of vehicle activity all hours of the night, almost always malnourished white people get out of the vehicles

residents at this house bring bikes out of the house in the evening to do who knows what with, then store them in the backyard or they bring them back in the house. saw a post on here about the residents
housing stolen bikes. I know theres 3 guys that live there all with vehicles but there is a multitude of bicycles in and out of the house and backyard.

Black truck is either buying or selling drugs from 9850 55th way N
The truck comes at all hours of the day for short visits like 2-4 minutes then leaves Truck pulls up and either someone goes in the house or someone comes out and sticks their hands in driver side door

Took my two young children to Broderick Park today and we witnessed 3 drug deals in the parking lot, we approached by two berg aggressive homeless people and watched another shoot up in a pavilion. Needless to say we left quickly and I will be very hesitant to go back. It was 11am.

Plumbing truck parked across the sidewalk every weekend and every night of the week. I care for handicapped kids and adults, who get forced into the street because of this dangerous parking. Help the handicapped please

Neighbors continually shouting and blaring loud music that the whole neighborhood can hear after 11pm. They are doing it now and refuse to stop.

This trailer needs red tagged. There is no water, no electric and there are people using drugs and squatting on the property.

Two people broke into my car and trashed it. Have cameras footage. Looks to be two males, one white hoodie one black hoodie both dark shorts.
