Homeless campers evicted from parking lot near CRAB Park pitch new camp next door


Homeless people facing eviction from a Vancouver Port Authority parking lot beside Crab Park have folded their tents and moved from the area they occupied to an adjacent parking lot 20 metres away. Between 60 to 80 tent city campers worked through the night moving people, tents and structures to the gravel parking lot next door. Only a few tents remained on the rain slicked cement parking lot where they have lived for the past month. "We were evicted and told to move off that parking lot so we did," Lowe said. Campers started pitching their tents on port authority property shortly after May 8, when the homeless camp in Oppenheimer Park closed.
