Mobile shower/toilet facilities and portables seem like really good options - wonder if anyone: city, state, local nonprofits, etc are working on this?
Such obvious human needs to be met.
We all see daily the result of not providing that to our unhoused citizen neighbors.
I understand there are challenges making these services available and also know there are solutions.

Dan touched on something about this. What we need here is for APD to visibly park at random times, even if on lunch break, the black/white patrol vehicles on the side streets along Lead and Coal. This would help with speeders and reckless drivers. I bet they could issue a lot of citations that way.
I saw on Ch 7 last night how Santa Fe is helping with the unhoused problem by providing mobile shower/toilet facilities. It was a grant from the state health department that made the money available to a community group to run the project. Sandia Toyota when they did the big remodel had portable toilet facilities for customers. We could have some of them around here which would obviously help. Better to spend money on things like that than electric bicycles, imo.

I should clarify my response. I am concerned E-Bikes will contribute to our police officers being in poorer physical shape and less able to apprehend potentially dangerous suspects around ABQ. The cost of the E-Bikes is a concern as well as the problems with so many E-Bikes "Catching Fire" which is why they have been seen as "problematic around the USA."

This week, APD announced that they acquired two (2) electric-powered bikes for the downtown patrol. Is this something the Nob Hill Community could support in buying and donating similar bikes for our local APD patrol?
