Still do not know why this one encampment is allowed to stay when all others have been cleared out. Is this technically not part of Lake Merritt? if it is legally part of Lake Merritt, someone is really bad at their job. Joe DeVries, through a public statement, said they would all be cleared months ago. They must have overlooked this one because it's so tiny and not at all visible as you walk and drive right past it, and as countless wedding photos are taken in this iconic spot.

This pergola encampment has been inside Lake Merritt the longest of all of them- why does he get to stay? I assume that this is considered part of Lake Merritt, correct? Why is it still here? Is he related to a council member or something?

why does this enormous encampment get to stay and all the others were cleared out?

please clear this encampment

encampment still there

large amount of trash and debris on shoreline

Very large amount of trash on shoreline of Lake Merritt. Cannot fathom how something this disgusting stays in a public space for this long. Who is in charge? if anyone has a name please let me know.
