East Gainesville residents who regularly use a recreation center for community events are facing stricter enforcement of rules and regulations from the city after a large gathering on Easter.
After about 2,000 people gathered at the T.B. McPherson Center on April 4 to celebrate Easter and participate in Peaceful Sundays, a weekly gathering for the community, residents sent complaints to the city. The complaints included concerns about traffic congestion, noise violations and improper disposal of waste, Shelby Taylor, the director of communication for the city, wrote in an email April 12.
