Additional Information (if any):
Although the waypoint is not defining the police station - its position makes it dangerous for trainers. The police station is located in an isolated area reserved for fire departments , emergency services and although there is a pedestrian sidewalk - police are active 24 hours (office hours 9-5pm) . Yes, they have a back parking for police vehicles (as seen from google view) but the front area is also utilized for photo ops and other police departments to transfer perpetrators
Also even I have been asked by officers there why am i standing around (politely) and I told them I was just playing Pokemon.
I’ve attached several instances where police stations are not suitable for trainers to be standing around(and approved for removal) - especially this highway patrol police station - officers usually fly down this street to respond to accidents on nearby highway . Coupled with sheriff and fire department adjacent to each other.
Please review this for removal consideration
Apologies I should not have included officer faces taken from the internet - I’ve attached other photos where the front of the building is used for other purposes, this one recently from 5/29 found on Facebook
Some recent news where Dublin CHP were sent to investigate. Since the incident happened on Dublin CHP jurisdiction (although caught somewhere else) usually evidence , the car (the vehicle background is not at Dublin CHP), the perpetrator are brought back to the proper designated police area. I would hate to be around the station while a perp is brought in . The Santa Rita Jail is also closeby
Thanks for the appeal, @thisgymoccupied. We took another look at the Wayspot in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.
Can you please explain why this one does not meet the criteria for removal? It appears to obstruct emergency services to me. Is the Highway Patrol not considered an emergency responder?
It’s probably because the memorial is right in the middle of the building and the emergency vehicle exits are indicated by arrows here. But can we guarantee the safety of players if they decide to visit the Memorial?
I know there are a lot of pictures of civilian held events in the parking lot but those are closed off events to the public (great place to be social ….only when there are events?)
Can we be certain police vehicles won’t rush across the memorial road path to access other street ? Will a group of players block the operations of the facility? I know based on google view the parking lot seems devoid of police vehicles but how do we know if they don’t use it ?
Taking a look of the entire area - only one wayspot exists for emergency services section of the city - probably because no one will be going there to explore
(Great place to explore? Definitely not a great place to exercise)
