2. November 15, 2011 10 a.m. This morning, City staff hand delivered a letter from City Manager Joe Pennachetti and a notice under the Trespass to Property Act to protesters at St. James Park, advising that they immediately leave the park. The City has worked to balance people's right to protest with public safety. Residents and businesses have been very reasonable and patient. Protesters have been very peaceful and the City is very appreciative of this. However, it's time this came to a peaceful end. Protesters are required to remove all tents and other structures, equipment and debris immediately. The City is willing to assist to ensure the safe and orderly removal of these materials. It is the City’s intent to facilitate this peacefully. The notice under the Trespass to Property Act cites a number of prohibited activities — such as gathering overnight in a park and erecting tents or structures. However, it does not set a deadline. We continue to monitor and assess the situation.
