Not a nice area,seen some guys sleeping in those subways and also the section of the trail next to the railway line where there are quite a few people living.

its been like that forever the muggers use the homeless as cover to lie in wait for victims and its always been old folks and school kids ,there have been rapes down there also over the years

it doesn't seem impossible to solve ...

maybe CID security at vulnerable times or neighborhood watch station or a paid security guard when the kids are going and coming from schools - there are a whole bunch of well off schools who have pupils going thru there .

 

like I said why no solution to a known problem where children are vulnerable  sad
