Description
Several unhoused camping by the Ped/bike trail that goes under Louisiana, south of I-40. It was really packed with tents on Sunday AM after the rain. I don't begrudge them a place to camp, but it's probably intimidating for a lot of folks, plus the unhoused always leave behind a lot of trash and other unsafe stuff.l

They have no interest in any type of social services and have declined the offers from ACS staff.
They are involved in narcotics trafficking and human trafficking.
They burglarize homes, cars and businesses in the area and trade the stolen goods for drugs. They vandalize public and private property and leave trash and human debris in their wake.
The multi use bike and pedestrian trail system is a public right of way and cant legally be obstructed. Its designed for commuter and recreational cyclists.
Law abiding cyclists trying to get to work and school are not able to safely navigate this trail.
Send police officers to enforce the laws against these actions.

Without any type of consequences for their criminal activity this cycle of the city parks and recreation department staff simply doing minor cleanip of some of the trash really is not solving the problem.
The largest group of criminals congregates between 8pm and 8am.
