Why did the City select the Mahon Creek path for the encampment? Can you pick another site?

The City selected the northern section of the Mahon Creek Path for the sanctioned camping location for the following reasons: 

  1. The City does not own land elsewhere that is suitable for this type of program, and the City’s diligent year long search for a privately property alternative location did not yield results. 
  1. Service providers recommend that the City provide a location that individuals can walk to access services and food, and to provide a location that reduces disruption to those currently camping in the area.
