On Monday, as people dried out from the overnight rain, San Luis Obispo police and other city officials removed homeless people living in an encampment off the Bob Jones trail near Los Osos Valley road.
The Bob Jones trail is a bicycle and walking trail that connects San Luis with Avila Beach.
Homeless people like to set up camp in the wooded areas off the trail which are a short walk from the Prado Homeless Center.
At least 15 people lived at the homeless camp.
The city removed the camp to prepare for a two-week long flood prevention project.
That’s according to San Luis Obispo city homeless response manager Kelsey Nocket who says the area is prone to flooding.
Nocket tells the Tribune that it’s not a safe place for camping or squatting.
