Ward 13 - Dan McLean

Shawnessy LRT Encampment

The bridge near the Shawnessy LRT has been met with some concern from resident's about an encampment. To deter this behaviour an extended concrete slope has been built.

Please see resident's concern's below:


Message 1 - April 2nd, 2024

"There is again a "permanent camper" underneath the overpass as per Google Maps drop pin in the text here below. I was hoping someone else would report the squatter as he resides underneath the overpass for quite some time now. He is located on the west side of the c-train tracks underneath the overpass of Shawnessy Blvd SW at  Shawmeadows Close SW just 30 meters north of house number 139.

Thank you you very much for your help in this matter."

Message 2 - April 15th, 2024

"Thank you for helping out on the recent issue with the " permanent camper" in our neighborhood. Unfortunately the issue with squatters still remains: There are currently two people camping underneath the same overpass since yesterday evening. The garbage situation is also getting worse. I'm certain this problem will remain as is and might even get worse over time if the city doesn't come up with a solution to keep people permanently out of this area.

Please let me know your thoughts.”
