read in 1998 spring guide that shelters are available from April 1 to Oct 31 on a first come first serve basis. Came in on April 1 to reserve a shelter only to be told that it had been reserved on Jan 1st. Wants to know why this wasn't clear in the program guide.
Caller upset that bathrooms were not unlocked, grown men were "peeing in the ditch". Does not want kids to see that. Possible port-a-potty? Loves parks, just does not want kids exposed to "exposure". Water fountains were on.

wouldn't give name. Winslow Park women's restroom. The woman who called in was in the restroom when a young (@ 24 years) man, tall & thin, came in. He was wearing a P & R shirt. He did not knock or announce himself. When the woman told him that "this is the women's restroom and there are people in here" he stated that he did not care and that he had a job to do. There were girls from Bedford in there changing clothes in the open area inside the restroom. More details on Citizen report.

wants a park for pets exclusively. Would like to give us information to have a park designated with dog runs. Has ideas about areas. Should be fenced in. This is a necessity.
