City Maintenance Yard at Thatcher and Princeton will be demolished and area will be fenced.
Adel Hagekhaklil, assistant director Bureau of Sanitation, announced this week that funding was secured and approved for the demolition of the City Maintenance Yard on Thatcher. Funding also included the installation of a wrought-iron fence with a curve at the top.
The abandoned yard has been one of the homeless encampments of late. A meet was held of the residents and the residents selected the wrought-iron fence with the curve at the top. Residents feel that when the property is exposed, the homeless will not come to camp.
“We are progressing on the demolition and will provide a schedule as soon as we select a contractor,” wrote Hagekhalil.
Because of the homeless encampment in the yard, the Bureau of Sanitation has included it in their Friday cleanups along with Ocean Front Walk and 3rd.
