Eastshore State Park, Berkeley

I have lived directly above what is now the Eastshore State Park since 1973. Once, less than a dozen people passed below me each day. Now there are hundreds coming and going 24 hours a day. My only complaint is there a complete and total lack of police protection here at the Watergate, Emeryville section of the Eastshore State Park. In fact, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PARK RANGER OR PARK POLICEMAN PATROL THIS AREA OF THE PARK. In the last two years, my cars have been vandalized, my mother's wheel chair was stolen and I caught two regular park patrons burglarizing my home----which resulted in a violent physical assualt. All I ask is that the East Bay Regional Parks System accept some kind of responsibility and raise the police protection from zero to a level more appropriate with the increase in violent crime. Did I forget to mention the zillions of park patrons who peer into my windows 24 hours a day. It is time for the East Bay Regional Parks System to get real and assume the responsibility that taxpayers expect.
