Starting next year, Albany will have a city employee to patrol the parks and trails, watch out for trouble, and do something about it when trouble is found.
Albany doesn’t have as big a problem with tagging as some other places — yet. But the splashy display that recently showed up under the Pacific Boulevard overpass makes you worry about what’s next.
In Albany, now would be as good a time as any to wipe off or paint over the graffiti that have started to show up here and there along one of my bike routes and possibly elsewhere. Tagging is likely to get out of hand if we don’t.
