Description

Underneath Highway 24 and the BART tracks on 55th street between Shattuck and Telegraph avenues are a homeless encampment and six to eight RVs and busses in various states of disrepair. Trash and human waste litter the sidewalks. Something should be done to give these people the services they need, and to clean up the mess. It is unpleasant and it feels unsafe. Another large encampment is nearby, beneath the tracks and highway on 56th and Telegraph. Users of the bus stop on the west side of Telegraph Ave at 55th are particularly vulnerable to unwanted attention by some of those encamped nearby.
