The city is hosting a series of
m eetings to discuss its drug and
prostitution-free zones. The first of
these will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov.
1 at the King Neighborhood Facility,
4815 N.E. Seventh Ave.
The zones, in place since 1993,
were scheduled to be renewed and
modified for the next three years. Last
week, however, M ayor Tom Potter
asked that this process be placed on
hold until Feb. 2 so that the zones’
operation can be evaluated.
As currently practiced, people ar­
rested for drug or prostitution-re­
lated offenses can be ordered “ex­
cluded" from the zones for9 0 days or
for a year if convicted.
Proponents say it is a valuable
crim e-fighting tool. Critics say it un­
fairly im p o ses penalties against
people without due process, and is at
least potentially discriminatory.
