Taking toughness out of Bacon Street ; City officials will meet with residents this evening to address neighborhood problems and solutions
2007
Overview
There are already signs of progress. In the past couple of years, Project Canopy, a state-funded community forestry program, built the small park next to St. Andre's Church at the south end of Bacon Street. The city removed eight dump-truck loads of trash from the lot on Foav Court last fall and plans to build a playground on what is now a muddy lot on Pierson's Lane. Police Chief [Roger Beaupre] said his department has stepped up patrols in recent years to coincide with neighborhood events such as dinners at St. Andre's. He said that the Bacon Street neighborhood has improved greatly in the past 10 years and that there are other sections of Biddeford where police receive far more complaints. Staff photos by Jack Milton Marion Harrison, a 13-year resident of Bacon Street in Biddeford, says that her door has been kicked in three times and that the neighborhood is noisy at night. City officials are holding a meeting at 6:30 p.m. today at St. Andre's Church to discuss the problems. The Bacon Street neighborhood has gained a reputation for vandalism and other misbehavior, but Biddeford's police chief says it has improved in the last decade.
