text: This isn't just about a particular neighborhood. The letter mentions specifically the trail system all the way up to East high school, which is well outside of the neighborhood. There have been repeated assaults and crimes along this section of the trail. It is a public thoroughfare used heavily. I have been using it almost daily for two years and I have never seen a police officer on it. Honestly, if I were looking to commit a crime, it's the place to go.
