Albany Homeless story, checkup

Exactly 12 hours after Albany Police and a crew of  Linn Co. work crew cleaned up the underpass at Ellsworth, there was zero sign of homeless under the bridge nor on the bikepath. The story ran previous in the DH.

The view approaching the homeless underpass and intersection. For years this has been pan-handled. Not today.

 Police put lime down where most had slept and drank for the last few years.  Calcium Hydroxide.

A leftover rubber-band gun, not much of a clean-up, especially having a crew of half a dozen cops and workcrew bodies.

Newly posted signs give police and citizens right to serve summons on anyone who is a menace.

Once again, I am disappointed as a citizen in this cleanup. Inefficient use of tax-payer money, there is more than just removing the homeless. Clean the area satisfactorily and move the homeless to an area where common people are not affected by alcohol and drug use and ugly scenery.
