I just walked the south sidewalk of the 100 & 200 blocks of Carolina Street and counted (on only one side, of only two blocks) seven vehicles with expired or missing license plates. What a sad example of the complete neglect of the rules of civilized society in our city.

In that same area, there are city touts out daily ticketing vehicles for overstaying artificially created and barely justified limited parking zones, while vehicles with no legal right to be on our streets, and no certifiable evidence of their safety on the road, are allowed to drive and park without regard. Are we being governed by a city government enforcing the law, or organized criminals, favoring their cohorts, and enforcing a protection racket on everyone else?

Railroad Track between Florida and Louisiana Street has litter, debris and homeless encampment. The area seems to be gaining in population the last week so the Railroad company needs to be notified of the mess especially behind the Filipino Center area.

This entire area between the railroad tracks and Walmart Neighborhood Market is literally a cesspool of bums and out of control vagrancy alone with drug use, trash, litter, indecent exposure, general filth etc.
Littering in the Walmart parking lot and dumping on the railroad tracks.
The hard working tax paying residents of this city demand action now!
Enough talk, action now, please.
Law enforcement needs to clean out ot only this area but this entire end of town. Check for outstanding warrants and sexual predator status.
The residents of this city deserve better than this.
This is going on all over this city, why would anyone want to do business here?
This city is stagnant but so much potential but it’s wasted due to poor leadership and lack of ambition.

Aling the railroad tracks behind 1246 florida st, are at least five tents set up full of people, garbage and massive debris piles. It is really gross. At night the tents are lit up. Could be a fire hazard but is for sure unsanitary. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Its been therthere for three or four months and i can hardly believe its still there and growing. Soon they will need a zip code!

Tent city at railroad tracks

In the last few years Laurel Ave off of Benicia
Road has become a speeders dream come true. Everyday rain or shine cars race up and down this street all hours of the day and night. You hear cars burning rubber coming out of power Mart parking lot. When I first moved here in 2013 there was always a police present watching out for the speeders. I guess budget cuts had a lot to do with.

Numerous tents next to railroad tracks

Railroad crossing of Sereno Drive, as far as the eye can see in both directions is a continuous trash pile. Examination of the trash adjacent to and on the sidewalk shows a preponderance of liquor bottles of all sizes. At 11am, a man lying in a sleeping bag against the Kaiser fence was drinking, three men in the adjacent shopping center parking lot were drinking. A couple in bed of pickup next to the adjacent liquor store were drinking from a brown-bagged liquor bottle. I'm wondering what these people and the owners/landlords of this property have done to secure exemption from state laws about public drunkenness, and disorderly behavior.

Having attracted a large, high quality, medical facility to our city, why do we insult it by failing to enforce law and decency right next to its front door? It's hard to believe that someone isn't trying to sabotage Vallejo's revival.

There is a homeless encampment along Turner Parkway. Can something be done about this? The encampment is a major turnoff to businesses planning to invest in Vallejo and incoming potential homebuyers in the area. What the encampment attracts is blight, crime, drugs, and rodents. Thank you.

Once again the homeless have taken over this area again and the properety owners are doing nothing about it. Garbage has been on the side of the road for over 2 weeks, i cant believe that the city of Vallejo has not seen this and picked it up! Are the employees only aloud to pick up garbage on our streets when theres a work order telling them too? This has to change! Have a little pride and pick it up when your out driving around! Everywhere you drive in this town theres garbage littering our streets, the city has only a few people picking this up, i realize this, but people passing through see this and think, what a dump of a city, put more people on cleaning up and present a cleaner looking town! The mayor should be ashamed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
