Since the defeat of the Otterson Drive Extension in 2001, the Barber neighbors in Southwest Chico have worked with the City of Chico to establish and maintain a Creekside greenway park along Comanche Creek. (Hegan Lane Industrial Park owners had tried to get the city to build them a Creekside entrance to the industrial park and failed due to a hard won referendum that pitted money against people power.)

Some good news!
The court has granted an emergency restraining order against the City of Chico, preventing them from clearing Comanche Creek of campers for now.
Cory Turner, along with many partners from Legal Services of Northern California have worked long and hard to make this happenโฆ

In the relentless Chico City Council-directed push to get rid of the homeless by evicting them from any and every place they try to sleep or camp, Comanche Creek is the last stand. They have pushed people further out with each eviction, and they intend to get rid of them for good by evicting them from the last place within city limits that people have camped.
Until we have a legal, sanctioned place for people to camp and a variety of shelter options, not to mention enough shelter for the people who need it, these evictions must be halted.

Ever seen that joke office sign, "The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves?" It was amusing until we realized itโs the actual strategy the City of Chico is putting it into action against the homelessโฆ
