Most peop�e feel safe in Roseville, <br />but street lighting is a problem and contributes to some <br />uneasiness. Vandalism, alcohol and chemica� abuse, reckless <br />driving, and teen pregnancies were concerns. Residents were <br />generally satisfied with current medical services in the city and <br />particularly praised the Health One ambulance service. Lawful <br />gambling was acceptable to most residents, but a clear need for <br />local regulation was evident.
