We the undersigned consider the people on boats (at ABC Wharf and the Waterfront) to be an integral and welcome part of our community. We urge the landowner and City Council to withdraw threats of eviction and restore access between the boats and the street.

The boat people at ABC Wharf are a valued part of the local community. Aside from the fact that the houseboats' presence prevents vandalism and theft in the area, the boat people rescue people and dogs that fall in the river.
