‘Public space should be truly public’: Mixed reactions to Millennium Library reopening
Victim in Millennium Library homicide remembered
“Public space should be truly public,” said Breda Vosters, director of grants and information for Resource Assistance for Youth . “I think what they’re doing at the library is, a lot of people will see it as necessary, but we aren’t solving the social issues.”RAY has concerns with the new security measures as the library is a popular place for its clients.
“People who are houseless have to put everything that’s important to them on their person. If they can’t access the spaces that they need with those items then again we are leaving them very stranded,” Vosters said. The new measures are just a temporary solution. The city will make an implementation plan after getting results from the ongoing security audit.
