Hello! 16 May, 2024
Many local adults and I have conversed about the shattered glass littered; homeless tent populated;;garbage-strewn cement path between Lindaro and Lincoln Ave. in downtown San Rafael (across Lincoln from the Shamrock Center)! It's a growing breeding ground for crime! It also can damage bicycle tires and intimidate anyone ignorant or unaware enough to travel along that path.
We STRONGLY SUPPORT either undercover or uniformed San Rafael Police patrols along that path. Similar deplorable crime-potential regions include the Francisco Blvd. West/1-way-motorized;2-way bicycle paths route paralleling Hwy. 101.
Apathy, coddling, and overall neglect only discourages legitimate, local business and (by acquiescence) endorses more crime and intimidation. A STAPES Store Clerk at Shamrock Center also shared our concerns.
Please make sure this public safety issue is addressed at the next City Council meeting.
Let's not wait for a loved one and/or friend of a City Council member to be confronted by a physical assault or surrender her or his personal valuables to a weapon-displaying thief before preventative measures can be implemented! There is at least 1 homeless shelter at Mill St. that can accommodate homeless adults willing to pay a small fee and act responsibly.
Feel free to provide me with feedback. I'll follow upcoming meetings to determine if our concerns are voiced at the next meeting(s). Thank you! * Robert Cavalier; Fairfax, CA. E-mail:
