The plan would move the campground to an area mostly populated by commercial businesses, next to the city’s indoor cold weather shelter.
A Goldbelt Tram car rises up Mount Roberts above the Mill Campground in August, 2023. to relocate its seasonal campground to a different site further from downtown, despite nearby business owners’ concerns.
City officials proposed the plan to move the city-run campground for people experiencing homelessness last month, citing an increase in illegal activities there last summer. He and the group proposed a different location even further down Thane Road called the Little Rock Dump, which is owned by Docks and Harbor. The group said moving the campground further down Thane would be safer for both businesses and campers.
“Pushing the Mill campground to Thane, with no way to access it, will make it just that — inaccessible,” she said. “Without a shuttle, there’s not a lot of incentivization to walk all the way out the road to a tent when you can put that tent somewhere else that’s more accessible to Foodland or to other resources to get food.”
