Description

I'm a nursing student at Yale. I just thought I'd let you know that I frequently walk to the Grove Street Cemetery from Yale Health, and for the past few months there have been signs that people have been sleeping/living in the park bench/bushes outside the cemetery fence - - if you take a right out the Cemetery gate and walk towards Ashmun Street you'll see what I mean.

There was evidence of this in the spring as well. However, most recently I was there Friday morning September 12th, and there were cardboard pallets, clothes, a massive pile of very used toilet paper (yuck!) and a lot of trash. The park bench seems to be the epicenter, but it is clearly someone's favorite spot at night.

I don't know if this venue is the appropriate one to advise people, but I figured you could alert the city or the University about the issue. It's not a nice sight for people visiting the city or the Cemetery to see as they walk there. Thank you.
