Mayor Rex Richardson<\/a> denounced the behavior and vowed to hold late-night establishments in the area accountable for “growing disorder.” <\/p>\n“Let’s be clear \u2014 the growing disorder and unsafe behavior linked to certain late-night establishments is unacceptable and will not be ignored,” he said. “Belmont Shore is a residential neighborhood first, and our residents deserve peace and safety in their own community.” \u00a0<\/p>\n
Councilwoman Kristina Duggan said the problems have continued this past weekend, with hundreds of people strolling around the neighborhood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“In the street, I counted at least 20 open alcoholic containers,” Duggan said.<\/p>\n
Neighbors said loud music accompanies the late-night drinking until about 2 a.m. every weekend. The crowds leave behind trash and human waste in yards, according to neighbors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even after the bars close, the people stay around and load up on food from street vendors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Neighbors packed into a city council meeting on Tuesday, calling on officials to put an end to the fights and disturbances.<\/p>\n
The city is considering safety plans for the area during the self-imposed curfew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
