During a recent government meeting, concerns regarding the unhoused community in Vacaville were raised, prompting discussions about ongoing projects aimed at maintaining a family-friendly environment in the city. A participant inquired about the plans in place to address these issues, particularly in relation to a new park project.
City officials confirmed that they are collaborating with the police department to enhance safety measures for the park, which includes improved lighting and strategic fencing to minimize hidden areas. These efforts are part of a phased approach to the project, with Phase 2 still pending funding.
Questions about the future of the park were also addressed, particularly regarding the implications if Phase 2 does not receive financial support. Officials indicated that, in such a scenario, the park would remain in its Phase 1 state, with no immediate plans for future development. Additionally, concerns were raised about parking availability in Phase 1, with assurances that there are sufficient spaces to accommodate the current needs.
The meeting highlighted the city's commitment to addressing community concerns while navigating the complexities of funding and project development.
