“The private property owner has recognized safety concerns with individuals crossing the track, as well as getting numerous complaints from the community about the activities that are happening in that encampment,” says Muraca.

“and I think they are going to take action towards removing that encampment.”

As to relocation, Muraca says the private property owner has no commitment on where they can go.
