Homeless camp cleared in Lakewood after years of complaints and media pressure
After nearly two weeks of pushing for answers and two years of neighbors dealing with a growing homeless encampment at the 6th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard interchange in Lakewood, crews cleared the site Wednesday.
Mounting trash, fires being started, needles found in neighbors’ backyards, and contamination in a waterway that feeds into the Platte River were all big concerns.
Cleanup started around 9 a.m. on Wednesday and lasted about 8 hours.
