Campsite notice
Published

Mayor Wheeler again renewed the Emergency Declaration to Prohibit Camping within High Crash Transportation Corridors on March 30, 2022. He first signed the declaration on Feb. 4, 2022. 

Since the Emergency Declaration was issued, more than 50 encampments near freeways or high crash corridors have been removed. The removal process for unsanctioned camping has not changed due to the Emergency Declaration. Sites still need to be assessed and posted with a minimum of 72 hours and maximum of 10 days’ notice.
