Police presence needed on the Pico

I really enjoyed the article about the creation of the walkway and the community involvement bringing it to life.

I wish that there were some police presence on occasion. It seems to be a hangout for illegals, homeless, and druggies that makes it uncomfortable to walk there.

I was shocked to see that people have thrown beach chairs and other large trash into the creek spoiling the lovely view.

Let's take Fallbrook back from the spoilers.

Editor's Note: The deputies are visiting the walkway more often; on Sept. 10 when some of the photos of Pico Promenade were taken, there were a total of five sheriff's cars seen from the pathway along with at least three deputies out talking to people there. A follow up article on the homeless problem will be coming out later this month.
