Indianapolis Gives Notice To Those Camping Around Monument Circle
The city of Indianapolis plans to close Monument Circle to camping and storage of personal belongings for people experiencing homelessness.
The notice from the city’s Office of Health and Public Safety was posted Monday in windows around the Circle. City policy is to provide 15 days notice before evacuating homeless camps. The letter says people have until noon on Tuesday, Jan. 12 to find alternate shelter and a place for their belongings.
The notice says the sidewalk is public property and the encampments and belongings are disrupting pedestrian and business traffic.
