Counting on Our Neighbors
Two
short weeks ago, Sarah, my neighbor on 12th Street told me about the
new homeless encampment just above the Arroyo Chico runoff canal at the foot of
the park. I talked to the police and folks at Environmental Services and was
told to send Pat Tapia, the Deputy Director a photograph.
Within
a few days, Lisa, another neighbor who lives in Barrio San Antonio, stopped me
while I was walking my pups and told me the mess was gone.
Check
out the photo above. The inset photo at the bottom left is the before image.
Last
week Bob, my neighbor on Miles helped me move two double bed mattresses from
the alley behind the apartment on 12th Street to the alley at the
intersection of Cherry and 13th Street. We placed them next to two
large, really worn out refrigerators. Everything was gone after lunch today.
The
point is, if you see something say something to me. Having so many eyes,
watching all of the streets in our neighborhood will keep all of us happy and
safe.
More good news … the roll-offs
will arrive Friday March 20th and stay until Tuesday morning, March
24th. You will receive a printed notice on Sunday, March 15th.

you Sunday,
