Many Ballard residents feel left out of the site selections for the homeless encampments. An online petition via change.org has been posted to assist Ballard residents in having a voice over the selections for the homeless encampment sites.
From the change.org website, the petition is calling on the Seattle City Council to:
- Schedule at least two public hearings on weekday evenings to allow for public comment on the proposed homeless encampment sites.
- Carefully consider whether the proposed sites are actually appropriate places for homeless tent encampments.
- Take a public vote on whether the City Council supports the proposed locations.
1,677 have signed the petition thus far, 823 more signatures are needed to reach 2,500.
