[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walked home from dinner..there's human poop in the bus shelter in front of Wilson HS..second pile we've seen this week right in front of Wilson..though I'm guessing there's a lot more in the bushes adjacent.[/quote]

Are you talking about that area on Fort Dr right in front of the aquatic center and those sketchy woods? That entire area is a cesspool. The homeless started pooping on the benches out front when they realized that those get cleaned. The woods below are simply inaccessible now as they are so full of feces and toilet paper and soiled newspaper. City knows about this but does nothing and it is adjacent to a school. Makes you wonder about Wilson's little organic garden along the sidewalk. [/quote]

Hmmm, it's the grassy area by Wilson Pool across from the back of Whole Foods. In the past week have seen big piles of human poop (one in a bus stop, one under the bench by the pool entrance). There is a small woods adjacent which appears to have TP littler. Is that the same area? I feel for the homeowners who abut it, as well as the students. How totally sketchy and unhygeinic. i'm puzzled why bus stops, libraries and benches are homeless facilities in our city..I ride the bus but you won't catch me inside a bus stop since I know what happens there (ie it's an outdoor restroom).[/quote]
There are a few people that now hang out/live in the grass area on Fort Dr behind Chase Bank across Albermarle from the Wawa. They go over to Wilson to defecate.[/quote]

So the entrance to the public swimming pool and High School is an open air bathroom? [/quote]

Yuck.  And wait until the Hearst Pool amd Metro-style elevator entrance opens several blocks south.  That will become another latrine. [/quote]

Why not have free-standing public bathrooms? Everyone can use them. I am a cancer patient. I regularly need to stop in Target or Starbucks on my way home from chemo. There are people with Crohn’s or they have preschoolers. [/quote]

I do think we should have those but they need frequent cleaning and also security so they don’t become a place for sexual assaults, drug deals, overdoses, etc.  security cameras in the sink areas might be sufficient at this point.  [/quote]
They have self-cleaning ones in Paris. Might be something for DC to look into. [/quote]
