Markowitz/Pre-Release Center CommentsDear City Council,
Pre-Release Center less than a mile as a crow flies or a criminal stalks
from children and elderly persons is an outrage. There are far too many
problems in South Meadows and Ashleigh Creek area now from the slum
apartments on Airport Road. Do not ruin the area more with a Pre-Release
Center. Put it out past Hutton Ranch area near the cemetery where they
should be hanging out. This is an outrage to put this type of a facility
in the mix of businesses that are already struggling. The last thing any
of us wants or needs is to worry more than we do for our kids, assets,
and personal effects with a more concentrated criminal collection. Those
businesses will suffer more as people will stay away from the area due
to this poor idea. Put it next to a car dealership, cars are easier to
catch than motorcycles when they get stolen. Penco will need to move or
go our of business due to insurance rates going up for all the claims
that will come about putting so many criminals next to an easy grab and
go and/or Penco will have to keep all the bikes inside and loose the
curb appeal for buyers.
Please drop the plans for that location and think of others rather than
yourselves and put it away from businesses and neighborhoods. With all
the law enforcements needs that are needed now and will not get due to
cutbacks is going to strain them and criminals are going to get the
upper hand. Put them in an undesirable area where they belong.
