Mr. Leonards should actually first TALK with the Chief of Police - Rosie Sizer, before submitting a report on the "city's public safety system".

We assume his report will include some of these public safety issues:

>>>Blatant increase in crime of Prostitution since HE & the Mayor lifted the PFZ without any research on the PFZ (lumping it with the DFZ). Less then 1 year later pimps and prostitutes are moving in from Seattle and beyond and making 82nd into a lucrative turf war at the expense of the neighbors.

>>>Increased crime on the Max - how is he going to address this persistent issue before introducing a tentative plan for new "street trolleys". The Max is opening up along I-205 in Sept 2009 - this too will add to the pervasive crime along 82nd and the surrounding neighborhoods. What is being done to address this before it is a bigger issue?

>>>Next spring are we going to waste valuable tax dollars next June during the Rose Festival and enforcing the "duct tape free zone"? Is that part of his plan - wasting our tax dollars on having the police enforce these trivial laws again?

Once again we urge Mr. Leonard & Mayor Potter to realize the error in lifting the PFZ and to reinstate it immediately along with all of the other "real solutions" Mr. Leonards and the City is working on.

We are collecting a petition signbed by thousands to reinstate the PFZ and hope the error will be corrected by the 1 yr anniversary of lifting the PFZ on Sept 30!

Thank you,
