Description
Since the City of Seattle and SDOT have taken up a water treatment pumping station in the camping space behind our Waterfront Landing Building. These campers have move on to the side walk under the Viaduct between Pike and Pine steps. This forces local residents and tourist to walk in the street. I have now seen several young families with strollers having to negotiate the parking alley dangerously close to moving cars INSTEAD OF WALKING ON THE SAFE SIDEWALK.
The merchants of this area do not need the hardships they are encountering to include unsafe travel in busy streets and alleys, the exit road from the Market Parking lot. Or the public parking one way under the Viaduct between Pine and Pike.
Please ask the SPD to enforce the closed area to camping for the safety of the Tourists and out residents
thank you

This area is posted CLOSED from 10om - 6am but it needs to be enforced. In addition the sit and lie ordinances need to be enforced during the day. The campers are using the area behind the condo building as their private toilet and the rain is washing human excrement out into the street.

I want to thank the SPD, Sgt Gracy, SDOT, Jessica Murphy and Roxanne Thomas for their help in getting this area CLOSED and cleaned up. The process is slow and sometimes frustrating for the residents and the City of Seattle Employees but it was successful. Hopefully we residents can be vigilant in notifying the City when they return and keep this from happening again.
Thank you all and Merry Christmas
