Prostitute
continued from page 1A
adaptable, said Richard Bremer,
Whiteaker Public Safety Station
manager and Prostitution Task
Force member.
Proactive Enforcement
A police commission subcom
mittee discussed Wednesday
night at City Hall two city ordi
nances and two recommenda
tions made by the Prostitution
Task Force.
The first proposed ordinance
would create a “Prostitution Free
Zone,” in which people arrested
for prostitution are prohibited
from entering. The second ordi
nance proposal would modify the
existing no-cruising ordinance to
extend boundaries from down
town to areas where prostitution
regularly occurs.
Because the ordinance would
give city officials the power to
move the boundaries of both the
“Prostitution Free Zone” and no
cruising zones, Prostitution Task
Force members are confident the
ordinances would crackdown on
prostitution not only in the West
Jefferson area but also throughout
the city, Bremer said.
“We’re trying not to make this a
one-part deal but a continuous ef
fort,” Bremer said.
The task force also recommend
ed the city consider prosecuting
prostitutes in the state court sys
tem, where the court could man
date convicted prostitutes enter
drug rehabilitation programs.
Police Commission staff mem
ber Terry Smith said current pros
ecution of prostitutes isn’t en
couraging them to leave the
streets. He pointed out that of the
131 prostitution arrests made last
year of both prostitutes and their
customers, the same 37 prosti
tutes were arrested 54 times. Most
of those 37 prostitutes are addict
ed to drugs, he said.
Eugene doesn’t offer social
service organizations helping
prostitutes kick drug habits and
leave the streets, Eugene public
relations officer Philip Weiler
said. Prostitution Task Force
members said that trying prosti
tutes in the state court system
would give them access to the re
habilitation services that the city
can’t offer.
The final recommendation
made before the subcommittee
was to post the identities of peo
ple convicted of soliciting prosti
tution on the Internet to combat
the buyer end of prostitution and
thereby reduce the demand for
prostitutes, task force members
said.
The subcommittee is scheduled
to vote April 19 on which propos
als will be sent to the Police Com
mission. The Police Commission
will forward recommendations to
the City Council for consideration
in June.
The subcommittee, Police
Commission and City Council
will accept public input on the
prostitution issue and discuss the
effectiveness and legality of the
proposals until council makes a
decision, scheduled for early this
summer. The next public forum
on prostitution will be April 13 at
7:00 p.m. in the City Council
Chambers.
Residents fed up
“Listening to the folks living
here, you can easily understand
why they strongly object to the
level of prostitution occurring in
their neighborhood,” Smith said
regarding the West Jefferson
neighborhood.
West Eighth Avenue between
Lincoln and Chambers streets,
where police say the most prosti
tution occurs, is lined with tall
trees and dotted with houses and
apartment complexes. But the
steady flow of police patrol cars
and the regularly cruising cars
and trucks are conspicuous re
minders of the prostitution in the
area.
Increased police enforcement
and city ordinances aimed at
curbing prostitution in the down
town area have driven prostitu
tion to the West Jefferson area,
where alleys, relatively little traf
fic and ample parking space make
cruising and picking up prosti
tutes easier, said Bremer.
But interactions aren’t confined
to prostitutes and Johns, as the
men who pick up prostitutes are
called. Many women living in the
neighborhood report having been
propositioned and harassed by
Johns so regularly that they don’t
feel safe walking alone down their
own streets.
Reed Davaz, a University junior
double majoring in Spanish and
classics, said that she has been ha-'
rassed four times in the two
months she’s lived on East Eighth
Avenue.
Davaz said that while she was
walking down East Eighth Av
enue on her way home from work
late at night, a man in a car
slowed down and yelled at her: .
“What can I get for 20 bucks?”
“I was really scared,” Davaz
said. “It was creepy.”
Davaz said that since the inci
dent, she rarely walks alone.
“The thing that bothers me
most is the Johns,” said Traci Eg
bert, who is a manager at New
Frontier Market on East Eighth
Avenue and Van Buren Street.
Egbert said she too has been ha
rassed and hears many customers
complaining about being solicit
ed. The New Frontier Market of
fers customers police tip sheets
and encourages customers and
employees alike to write down
the license plate numbers of
Johns’ cars and report them to po
lice.
“You know they’re not stop
ping to see if the store’s open,” she
said. “I don’t like feeling like a
victim whenever I go outside.”
