This community is so thankful for the <br />success of the installment. <br />After some research we have found that both Mr. Soubirous and Mr. Rubio are no longer available. <br />That is why we are reaching out to you for support with lighting for the bus stop transit shelter. After personal <br />inspection it looks as though the lights are no longer working within the overhead of the shelter. We do hope this is <br />something that you can assist us with. With the days becoming darker earlier, the shelter has become an unsafe <br />area in the evening and night. We would like all parties who use the bus shelter - or - who walk by the shelter feel at <br />ease and safe. <br />We would like to further request additional lighting at Low Park. This park is at the cross streets of Arlington and <br />Magnolia Ave. Just in front of our community. We have many homeless and disturbed people who like to utilize this <br />dark area for their own personal use. With this activity, it causes a heightened threat to our community. Our <br />community has had multiple car break-ins, vandalism to our building and our vehicles. <br />We are urging the City Council of Riverside, RTA and our Parks to please assist our community in these two matters <br />to support our community safety and well-being. <br />We kindly ask you to do everything in your power to see these issues are addressed. <br />Thanking you in advance, <br />Mrs. Nikole Gordon, Owner <br />1 <br />cc Mayor <br />City Council <br />City Manager <br />City Attorney <br />ACMs <br />PRCS Director <br />OHS Director <br />
