The Issue

As a resident of Ravendale Community, and for most of my life, I've witnessed the detrimental impact that The Regency, also known as Travel Inn, has had on our neighborhood. This hotel has become synonymous with sex trafficking, drug infestation, and a flagrant disregard for basic human rights. It pains me to see how this establishment has continually undermined the safety and well-being of our community.

Travel Inn’s operations have long been a blight on our community, fostering an environment that is conducive to illegal activities and social decay. The continuous reports and incidents related to sex trafficking and drug abuse in and around the hotel are alarming.

The hardship caused by this situation is not just a series of statistics; these are real lives being impacted. Families live in fear, unable to enjoy the peace and security they deserve in their homes. Children are exposed to dangerous environments, and the community feels the heavy weight of living next to an area known for its disregard for the law.

It's time for local authorities to take decisive action against The Regency (Travel Inn). We demand action is taken against the hotel's operations and an immediate response to halt the illegal activities it harbors. The community should be consulted on the best course of action to transform this site into a space that promotes safety and well-being for all residents.

Sign this petition to urge our local government to prioritize the safety of the Ravendale Community over the interests of an establishment that profits from chaos. Together, we can reclaim our neighborhood and ensure a better future for the current and next generations.
