s s <br /> LTn' .versity West <br /> _ _ <br /> November 8, 1993 <br /> David Whitlow <br /> Director Eugene Department of Public Safety <br /> Eugene, Oregon <br /> Director Whitlow: <br /> The neighborhood park on 14th between Hilyard and Patterson <br /> has become a haven for drug dealers and alcoholics. The police <br /> have made numerous arrests at this park for illegal drug <br /> transactions, open containers, and outstanding warrants. <br /> Illegal activity at this park has had a detrimental effect on <br /> the West University Business area. <br /> The University Small Business Association is requesting that <br /> you authorize Public Works to remove the large covered picnic <br /> shelter and the covered areas along the west side of the park. <br /> This would allow police to have an unrestricted view of park <br /> activities and would eliminate a dry, sheltered area as a <br /> gathering place for those people committing illegal acts. <br /> We appreciate the cooperation of the Public Safety Department <br /> in making the West University Area a safe place to shop. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> -77 <br /> i <br /> Julie Golf, President <br /> University Small Business Association <br />
