About sixty residents and a dozen city officials visited Morey Middle School to break off into groups with city officials, who later read comments aloud to the whole room.
Resident suggestions included more street lights on streets such as 13th and 16th avenues and reducing 14th Avenue to two lanes Several residents were also upset with electronic scooters."We're terrified when they're coming at us on the sidewalk," a resident commented. Another resident said he noticed"fewer encampments since our new mayor took office." One grateful resident said"I thank everyone who's worked diligently to reduce encampments.
