City officials may soon be cracking down on cars and other vehicles that house homeless people in the lot next to Cuddy Park in Midtown Anchorage.
A recent count found about 80 vehicles as well more than 50 tents and other structures in the lot, according to Parks and Recreation Director Mike Braniff.across the main vehicle entrance to the lot where homeless people camp. Braniff said there are plans to put up fencing around much of the perimeter of the lot later this week so that vehicles can’t drive through.
Three miles away at Cuddy, vehicles are still coming and going as the gate remains open. Braniff said that will change when the city is able to hire security guards in the next week or so who will close the gate and allow vehicles to exit but not return. Braniff said people will be encouraged to park in a more appropriate place.
