I will pass this on to Capt. Craghead and Capt. Lull. If you can get a tag number the next time you see the vehicle and post it here that would be very helpful to them as they look for this van. Thanks.

Look at all the trash on the street. SHAMEFUL.
I wish something could be done about the people handing out food here every day just so the people could trash Moore Square.

This complaint involves Ms. Beatty who is a handicapped female who sells cold drinks, etc. out of her van in the Moore Square/Blount Street area. RPD has handled 5 to 6 anonymous complaints about her during the last year. Capt. Craghead spoke with her and made her aware that her City Business License did in fact expire recently. She has paid the fee for the new City Business License, but may be also in violation of our downtown vending standards. We are putting her in touch with our Zoning enforcement division to help her find a way to work within the current standards of the ordinance.

Why is there garbage all over the place?

I think the poor lady selling sodas and water from her van is much less an issue than the free food and styrafoam containers being passed out for free by the people around Moore Square. You can't go there safely cause there are so many chicken bones and other trash all over.

What irks me is that there is a perfectly good trash can within a couple of feet of all that garbage. The Raleigh Rescue Mission should do something about it because they are the source of the trash.

I could never walk my dog anywhere Moore Square, chicken bones everywhere!!!!!!!
