Seattle concludes three parks for security reasons, but cannot contain near the warehouse growth.
Seattle – Seattle temporarily closed three parks and cited continuing security concerns and abuse. According to the neighbors, however, the closures did not solve the problem – and a growing camp on the other side of a primary school has taken care of.
The Seven Hills Park am Capitol Hill, the Lake City Mini Park and the Blanche Lavizzo Park in the central district were closed on August 28th. Seattle Parks and Recreation says that the parks remain closed for 60 days, while the city takes changes such as new lighting, decorative fences or removal of certain amenities.
Neighbors who live near Seven Hills Park say that the conditions have come out of control there.
“This problem metastasized,” said a resident of Capitol Hill. “The park was marked as a safe space for drugs and outlaw, and that cannot go forward.”
Before the fences opened, photos showed tents, garbage and needles in the Seven Hills Park that were scattered over the terrain.
While the residents welcome the temporary closure, they fear that the activity simply moves somewhere else.
“We bombed the city with our find, repair IT reports, and only after months will something be miraculous,” said a neighbor.
After several blocks, the neighbors have been a camp on the other side of the street of the Lowell Elementary School for weeks. Mary Lmacy, who lives nearby, says she is deeply concerned about the fact that students stop by or walk past.
“When I see a camp on the other side of the street where fentanyl is smoked, it affects me a lot,” said LMAY. “Blocks the sidewalk and there are several tents up there, garbage, abandoned furniture. Who knows what else is on the floor there.”
Lasery says that she submitted several complaints about the find of the city, fixed the app, but not received an answer. The night before the school, she said she captured a police officer in Seattle to wake the alarm.
“I said,” Officer, there is a Fentanyllager opposite Lowell Elementary, and tomorrow is the first day of school, “she said.
She says the officer told her to check it.
“He said he would do it and he understood how important it is, what I asked and why he had to go,” said Lmacy. “And then he asked me, he goes:” Did it find it, it has ever moved back with you? “And I said:” No, they didn't do it. “And I could see a shift – he just went and he couldn't believe that an agency who was responsible for ensuring that they took care of it could not get their way there.
Neighbors say that they want the city to take responsibility and act faster.
“Start with this head -on and find that you have a serious problem and stop doing excuses for it,” said Lmacy.
“Help us and help this person – help yourself. It's crazy. It's crazy,” said another resident of Capitol Hill.
According to Seattle Public Schools, the warehouse near Lowell Elementary is not based on school. The district says that he is working with the city and has drawn some bus lines to prioritize the security of the students.
