Steel Bridge homeless camp update, Feb 17

The last update I posted was two weeks ago (Feb 3). The mayor’s homeless policy was nine days ago (Feb 8), so I was curious what it looked like. I’ve been through there since the policy, but I didn’t have any good photos/video until today.

One thing I see in that video is that I need to ding my bell much sooner. One group moved aside after I dinged the bell, but realistically I didn’t give any time. It’s also clear that nobody was aggressive in any way. “Blocking the sidewalk” is something we all do- go look at Screen Door or any other hotspot on a weekend during brunch times and you’ll see a different subset of the population engaging in the same behavior.

Also, over the weekend (Saturday night, I think) there were four police cars (and at least four police officers) attending to the camp. I don’t know why or what happened, I thought perhaps they were clearing the camp out.
