Homeless Concerned About Monroe Park Closure
Excerpt:
Without the safety of Monroe Park, things become even more difficult for the city’s homeless.
“It’s a place where people find community, so we’re trying to move (food & clothing) services to another location,” Izen said.
Some are pushing for Abner Clay Park to become a temporary gathering space, although the proposal has been met with opposition from some who live, work and worship nearby.
“Whatever we do, we need to make sure we still have those services including tree canopy and bathrooms,” said Izen.
There will be a public forum on Saturday, March 26 at Monroe Park to get the relocation plan moving forward. The meeting will start at 2pm.
