The push was part of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' new initiative 'Inside Safe.'
The empty sidewalks along Venice's Rose Avenue and Hampton Drive are leaving city officials with a feeling of progress and acts a sign of hope that Los Angeles may eventually emerge from its homelessness crisis.
Crews power washed the newly cleared concrete along the intersection just days after 100 of the unhoused living along the stretch of sidewalk were placed into housing. The encampment raised a range of safety concerns and impacted businesses in the area. The tents and belongings were removed over a period of several days and first reported by the Los Angeles Times. The effort took place during the recent series of storms that happened in the past weeks. It was also part of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' new initiative called"Inside Safe" and a collective effort with partners from the nonprofit St. Joseph Center and newly elected city councilmember Traci Park.
