Beautify the river bank

I have taken the river cruise along the Red River/Assiniboine twice this summer with tourist guests.

The garbaged campsite along the way are quite an eyesore.

May I suggest, to be reconsidered not only as beautification but also addressing summer homelessness that proper

Numbered campsites be erected along the river banks of both rivers, to include:

1. A walkway adjoining the sites, which are leveled and maintained. 2: Open beach type showers about a block apart; 3. fire pits and picnic table at each campsite; sheltered table areas; 4. Proper tents provided free by the city upon request 5. Toilets be provided about a block apart, either portapotties to begin with, but then esthetically pleasing chalet type toilets; 6. Garbage bins to be collected as regular city pick up at designated areas. 7. Summer youth employment be hired to maintain clean-up, clean washrooms, check on sites. and maintain regular contact with campers. 8. Electrical outlets at each site.

In the process it might be good to contact present camping people to see what they think and if they would like to be involved. Perhaps some could be involved and even hired in maintenance, clean-up etc along with students.

Thanks for your consideration.
