A retired police sergeant offering better lighting, repairs, and a clean-up as a solution to distasteful behavior at the Sydney Street bus shelter.
Robert Buck tells CHSJ News it’s become an eyesore–and a hazard.
He says there have been several incidents with groups of homeless addicts congregating in the bus shelter, drinking publicly there, and using it as a washroom. Buck recounted one incident when a woman waiting for a bus was yelled at by one of the men and charged with mischief.
Buck says better lighting is a positive step, as was the recent move to take out the bench–but more needs to be done.
