On the ridge overlooking the northernmost part of the B-Line - close to where the B-Line intersects with Adams St. there is a growing camp. The picture here was taken on 4/1/2024. There is trash flowing downhill from the camp on the ridge. Some of the trash includes at least 3 propane tanks. The camp is less than 0.25 miles from homes and a park. It is a bit scary to think that the campers might be using the propane inside their tents. What can be done to help these folks stay warm and dry without the risk of blowing up a neighborhood?

I appreciate the progress on this squatter / fire hazard, but will simply boarding up the place solve the problem of homeless squatters using this as a bicycle chop shop? Is there anything else we can do to evict them from tearing off the plywood and squatting again? I get legal BS, but let's accelerate this and fix it. This place has been a fire hazard and theft / stripyard for years.
The homeless is this area at 7AM, sitting between Grimes and Rallys, waiting to prey again - is a f'ing joke waiting to deal with privately. Do something.

Live fires nightly with noxious fumes all night every night, at least since the last weekend on May. Squatters camp seems well-established with bicycle parking, wood pile, several tents. Can fire trucks even get back there in a timely fashion? We feel unsafe. There is a difference between homeless, itinerants, and squatters. These appear to be squatters.

Response to 189024 -- If the fires are happening daily at the homeless camp along the Rail Trail, and the fire department (MFPD) has been out twice this month, yet the fires continue, why would there not be an option to take some level of preventative enforcement action as opposed to reactive only that is not solving the underlying issue? This would be a daily call to 911 if people in the area called every time there was a large, illegal fire. Is that the best use of resources, as opposed to the City cleaning the area up, removing those illegally burning on City property, and preventing any future fires from being started by those illegally camping on the property? The City refuses to address the problem, the county has to roll a truck out here due to the City's inaction, and the adjacent property owners suffer. All to protect illegal activity!

Live fires nightly with noxious fumes and firefighters cannot access behind my home in event of an emergency. Please come see the situation fir yourself. It's dangerous. We are unsafe due to people squatting on public property yet allowed to break the law with open fires, territorial dogs, shouting and cursing all day, using the forest for a toilet.... Please come see. Help us property owners especially with 4th of July coming up. In case of fire or emergency, services have no access. That is simply unacceptable. Please help.

Hello, I have concern about the back row of apartments at The Crossing on Pete Ellis. There is limited space (about 3 feet) between the wooden patio fences and forest area. People smoke and throw cigarettes over balconies. Maintenance workers also smoke during the day. Currently they are working on painting indoor at some apartments, painting outdoor hallways and working on patios. Could you please help ensure safety of the residents? Thank you.

There's a trail runs along the back of the fields apartment complex. at the southern end of this trail by a pond there's often a strong smell of gas leak.
