#COLUMBUS WATER WORKS LINKEDIN CODE#
“We’ve made it very clear to the state we can’t just kick people out,” Mayor Justin Elicker said. “But the state has also been pushing for increased adherence to the code of conduct.” The reason the state showed up Monday, as opposed to months earlier as the number of people camping out at the station continued to rise, he said, was “because we’ve been asking the state to delay until there was a place for people to go. New Haven’s Union Station was the first stop on that mission Monday morning. Morgan said the state DOT will be working over the coming weeks at stations in cities across Connecticut, such as Hartford, Bridgeport, Stamford and Waterbury to address what he described as the growing problem of individuals “loitering, sleeping or living” at transit facilities. Morgan was joined by six employees from the Connecticut DOT and two state police officers Monday, while the city of New Haven also ensured that a host of outreach workers from local nonprofits BHcare and Liberty Community Services were on site through the morning and afternoon to offer resources to anyone kicked out of the station. And that includes the people currently living here.” We’re in the transportation business, not in the mental health or community service business,” Connecticut Department of Transportation Spokesperson Josh Morgan, who was on site at the station throughout Monday, told the Independent. “We just want to make sure everyone feels safe. “While these are inviting, welcoming spaces, they’re not places for people to be living. People want the human experience of using a toilet. “It makes sense to me why people are choosing to stay here,” Hausladen said. “The number of public restrooms available after 7 p.m. While the station’s code of conduct requires that anyone occupying the station’s seating area must have a train ticket, remain seated rather than lying down, and refrain from sleeping except for in the case of “mass transportation failure which causes delayed departures,” the station has become a de facto overnight spot in recent years for a rising homeless population that have identified the building as a safe, warm space with access to cheap food, running water and toilets.
