Families in Westchester are opposing the “safe parking program” for homeless individuals as the city is getting ready to vote on the issue soon.
Just one year ago, this park was overrun by homeless encampments but the city found housing for 95 people who had been living in tents at the park.
"I love my son and I don't want him coming to the park stepping on used needles and tripping over human feces," Patrick Reynolds, a parent said. The safe parking program is due to expire next month but the city's Recreation and Parks Commission is considering extending the program for another year reducing the number of vehicles from 25 to 15.
"I believe it's a waste of public assets, a misuse of public assets. We should find another place," said Debra Huston, a parent.
