Description
Homeless campers that are squatting on the estuary walkway have now put up barricades to prevent anyone from entering their "domain". They became confrontational when OPW attempted to take down the encampment on Wednesday and the process was stopped. I want to see these barricades removed as soon as possible. Unlike these folks I work, pay taxes and contribute. so they can hardly tell me or any other responsible resident what to do. Please remove these barricades ASAP!

I have written to the Office of the Mayor and CM Guilen’s office . The fact that the City and OPD came to close this camp, met with resistance , and left is inexcusable.
It sends a message the City can’t execute closing a camp. If there is resistance the Police walk away ?! I am furious at this inept and wasteful disaster.
We deserve to have a camp closure done professionally and to anticipate these types of issues . When people break the law you arrest them , you don’t walk away and leave residents in the area to deal with the aftermath.
Today there was a woman who moved onto the pedestrian bridge and was yelling at people walking on the bridge. The police should have dealt withthe resisters and closed the camp . That was the agreement .
