Another reason for 82nd Avenue to be dangerous is because of drug dealers and prostitutes frequenting this area. I think there needs to be more police presence in the 82nd/powell to 82nd/Division to address the issues of drug dealing and prostitution. From my office looking onto 82nd Ave, I can say that at least every 10 minutes (if not 5 minutes) there is a prostitute walking by.
Cleaning up drug trade and prostitution should be part of a comprehensive solution to improve safety and livability for this area.
