closed: Resolved #187247

Trails:

Other: Can the city do something about the very large homeless encampments on both sides of switchyard park - B-Line trail near the dog parks. I like to bring my dogs to the dog park, but am uncomfortable with such a big encampment of homeless so close to the park and the kids play grounds as well. There’s a lot of trash blowing around on at both encampments and this afternoon they had open “camp” fires burning. As a single women with my dogs, I have to say I’m very uncomfortable walking my dogs on the B-line in Switchyard park and using the dog park with so many homeless camping in the immediate area of Switchyard park. Thank you.

Sorry for the lack of additional info here -- the city continues to work with the private landowners on which these camps are located on these issues and potential removal. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks for the report. We are routing our Parks security and custodial resources this way while the new administration, BPD, and other agencies work with the private landowners on the issues related to these encampments. We will share some updates as soon as we have them.
