“Tell us something someone installed cameras at the construction sites like we really going to sit on our asses and watch these ugly oversized condos being built in our CBD please stop the Storytelling. It’s amazing who is paying to have these cameras installed and maintained, but yet there’s no surveillance at the bus station and train tunnel. And at these locations on a daily basis we have individuals selling drugs, urinating all over the place, and pooping on the walls the handrails totally disgusting. What a bunch of animals. Maybe we should go back how was 30 years ago lock the damn bus station at 12 o’clock midnight and lock the gates at the train station. Period.

Reader suggests a camera at the bus station

66257993 10220126963428971 1792470735168471040 o2

” How about putting a camera at the bus station. And then we could find out who’s peeing and pooping all over the place. At times we can’t even go inside the building because it’s such a mess. Disgusting. What a shame. This is not the slums. And even if it was so it’s still not acceptable. This is an embarrassment to the village. The bus station is the biggest dirtiest site in the village. The mayor and council need to Restore the site. “
