This abandoned trailer home is accross the street from me. Ive noticed homeless people going there after dark with their possessions in shopping carts, etc. since the structure is falling apart and frequented b the homeless I consider it unsafe and should be removed before someone gets hurt. The people there in the middle if the night are often noisy.
It is almost 10pm on Monday, April 15, and there is a dog barking nonstop back in the woods it sounds like by the Rail Trail. 20+ minutes of barking easily tonight alone. It is dark and I am not going to find out where it is exactly. This dog barks quite a bit at nights and believe it is coming from the homeless camps back there east of the Rail Trail. I have seen dogs back there in the daylight. Is there anyway to get this looked into so that there are not dogs in the woods at these illegal camps barking at night? There are noise ordinances, and ordinances against camping on City property, and these camps are a nuisance. Get them removed.
Homeless encampment off B line trail.
A large homeless camp has been made in the past 24 hours. There are at least 10 people and a large dog. They also have been having fires. The area is at the end of Pinewood Drive on the opposite side of Clear Creek. This is a parkland where volunteers are currently working on the removal of trash and invasive plant species.

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.
8am, Monday, April 1, 2024: For at least 30 minutes a male subject has been screaming in the woods along the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike. He is screaming, cursing, and shouting mostly unintelligible and incoherent phrases. This is disturbing for many reasons - for safety of the trail users on a secluded, wooded trail, and for nearby property owners who have to wonder what is going on out in the woods (considering the history of crime and murder in homeless camps in this town). The City needs to clear ALL of the homeless camps out from Gordon Pike to Country Club Drive along the Rail Trail immediately. This is a problem that is only getting worse, and it is on City property. Get it taken care of now before an innocent victim gets hurt on the trail system.
Around 3pm on Friday, March 29, 2024, a vehicle was parked on the gravel road parallel to the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike. A little bit later, passing by again, there were homeless people unloading items from the car it appeared. This car would have had to drive on the multi-use path along Gordon Pike to get onto the gravel road. As of 8am 3/30/24, the vehicle is still parked at the homeless camp. The City needs to do something about these camps. There are gasoline powered bikes traveling the Rail Trail and gravel road with little regard for pedestrians, tons of trash from Gordon Pike to Country Club Drive, and now free parking at the camp sites. The problems started when the homeless moved south and it is getting worse by the week. This is on City-owned property. This makes the Rail Trail less safe for everyone. Clear the camps out. The City needs to take action before someone is seriously hurt by the growing problem the City allows to fester. It is only a matter of time.
There is a homeless person sleeping in the bridge/walkway from the 4th Street parking garage. They are wearing charcoal colored jeans, appear to have a white undershirt and a black one over it. He had his head covered with a black zip-up hoodie, so I couldn't see his face.
Homeless camp on hill side not sure if active but a lot of trash on the property
