City crews cleared out a homeless encampment on Wednesday under the Gardiner Expressway downtown following a fire in a tent in the area on the weekend. Ross said city staff had served people living in the encampment with eviction notices in January that said they had 14 days to leave. Heavy equipment removes debris from the encampment while city staff watch. City staff waited to remove tents from the camp until the weather had begun to improve, he said. Brad Ross, the city of Toronto's chief communications officer, said there was a lot of debris in the encampment under the Gardiner Expressway.
