Description
There is a homeless encampment growing under the 600S exit ramp from I-15. It consists of a box truck, tents, a makeshift shanty, and other debris. This is both a safety issue for surrounding businesses and a fire hazard for the 600S ramp.

The conditions are still the same as they were on 02/3/21
Very concerning at this point.

In full agreement with the user above who reopened the ticket.
Why is it the public's responsibility to contact SLC when many of us already have? This encampment puts the highway ramp at risk, which is UDOT's responsibility. SLC has already indicated they don't care about public safety in this case, as indicated by their lack of action thus far. But their lack of urgency on the matter does not absolve UDOT of mitigating the potential risk to the I-15 600S exit ramp.
It's UDOT's job to contact SLC and coordinate services, not ours.

UDOT employees do not have the authority to evict human beings from state owned property, nor is it safe for them to do so.
Once law enforcement and Salt Lake County have helped the people experiencing homelessness to the appropriate services, UDOT crews will follow behind to clear debris.

This issue does not fall within UDOT jurisdiction.
