April 23, 2021 — A small homeless encampment on the south end of Ukiah was closed down earlier this week. Shortly after 8am on Tuesday, city workers began removing items that had been left behind by six to ten residents, some of whom have been living there since “Tent City” off Hastings Avenue was cleared out in June.
Notices were stapled to nearby trees and utility poles by Friday, announcing that the property along the railroad tracks from Airport Road to Norgard Lane would be cleared on April 20th. The city has an easement alongside the tracks, which is part of long-terms plans for the Great Redwood Trail.
