closed: Resolved #187907

Trails:

Other: Shortly before 2pm I observed a small black SUV turn from Gordon Pike onto the Rail Trail crossing on the north side of the road, then head east on the multi-use path. The vehicle continued east toward the gravel road that runs parallel to the Rail Trail on its east side. I was driving and unable to take a photo. I have observed a similar vehicle parked at the homeless camps on City property back along that gravel trail. Can the City block this area so that vehicular traffic is unable to illegally drive into the homeless camps to remove the incentive to illegally drive onto the multi-use trail and Rail Trail? The homeless camps need to be removed as they are attracting all sorts of bad behavior and making the entire area less safe for anyone using the paths and trails. The City is allowing homeless camps on City property. These need to be removed all the way from Gordon Pike to Country Club Drive, and in Switchyard Park too.

Thanks for the report. We have plans to install some new vehicle access prevention at the south end of the rail trail in this area due to these issues, likely this week or next. The area is being checked further by BPD resource officers as well.
