LATHROP – Melody Bayardo just wants to see what’s left of her unique little slice of town go back to the way that it once was. Squatters, drug dealers and chop-shop operators, she says, have been regular staples in the lots along Park Street – the unusual unpaved road off of McKinley Avenue that is home to residential lots as well as businesses near the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.For the second time last week Bayardo approached the Lathrop City Council and asked for assistance with what she described as conditions that have become “unlivable” for some of those in the vicinity, and stressed concerns about the safety and welfare of the families with small children.Since her first visit to the council, police presence in the area has increased, she says, but enforcement only seems to drive away people who just end up coming back later after the police or code enforcement units leave.“It’s just really frustrating because a lot of the squatters down here on abandoned lots are in RVs, so they’ll just pick up and move when the police come and then come right back,” she said. “The police come down because they know of one guy selling drugs out of one, but there’s a lot of stuff going on out here.
