Once the sanctioned camping site is established along the northern section of the Mahon Creek Path, the City’s plan is to ban camping on the southern portion of the Mahon Creek Path (between Lincoln and Andersen). This sanctioned camping site will be staffed with 24/7 security personnel and weekday service provider support staff that includes three full-time housing case managers and an outreach worker, which will mitigate the negative impacts the community is currently experiencing with the unregulated encampments.
This program aims to bring greater stability and order to the surrounding area, particularly for the immediately adjacent business owners. Additionally, by banning camping on the southern portion of the Mahon Creek path, that segment will become accessible to members of the public.
Additionally, City staff will be presenting a comprehensive update the community and the City Council at its regularly scheduled meeting August 19th. You can watch the City Council meeting here.
