Full Notification

Here is today’s update on the encampment at the Roberts Lake Park and Ride.

• The clean up that we conducted on Tuesday has reduced the health and safety risks. We continue to monitor the site for these risks.

• One person who was at the site is now housed at a local shelter.

• We continue to pursue options for additional beds for people at the site.

As noted in prior updates:

• We are checking on the verifications for people who may be eligible for housing related to their COVID-19 vulnerability.

• The Courts have limited our ability to prohibit camping without first providing options for adequate shelter or housing.

• As part of the overall safety at the SMART intersection, we have issued warnings and cited vehicles that are parked overnight as parking is prohibited from 1-4 a.m. Police are continuing to patrol the area, as they do throughout the City.
