BUT IS DELAYED NOW UNTIL MID MONTH THIS MONTH. THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO CLEARED OUT A NUMBER OF HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS ALONG SOME BUSY STREETS IN AND AROUND DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO. THOSE ENCAMPMENTS WERE ALONG 12TH STREET AND OTHER STREETS NEAR LOAVES AND FISHES, WHICH IS THE CITY’S LARGEST SERVICE PROVIDER TO THE HOMELESS. THESE ENCAMPMENTS IN THE RIVER DISTRICT HAVE BEEN GROWING OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, AND HAVE BEEN BLOCKING SIDEWALKS AND BIKE PATHS.
