Caltrans announced Friday that they are shutting down a homeless encampment near the MacArthur Maze in West Oakland due to ongoing safety concerns and a large fire that tore through the site earlier this week.
The agency said notices were being posted at the encampment on Wood Street on Friday. Agency officials said the closure would begin in phases starting next Wednesday, with the goal to close the entire encampment by the first week of August.
Meanwhile, the city is building a 100-bed community cabin village nearby at Wood and 26th streets. The village is being built with a $4.7 million grant.
