Officials in Long Beach prepared to crack down on homeless encampments beginning in several prioritized areas.
This week, the city plans to remove what they call "problematic encampments" at multiple city parks. Officials have been posting notices near encampments they are getting ready to remove. Public areas the city now considers difficult spots will be cleared out starting Monday and those who refuse to leave could be cited or even arrested.
On Monday, Aug.19, temporary fencing will be placed around Gumbiner Park for renovation and repairs. This will include work on the irrigation system, park lighting, repainting park amenities, power washing of all hardscapes, and updating park signage.
