San Jose clears homeless encampments ahead of Coyote Creek Trail renovation

Renovations for San Jose’s Coyote Creek Trail may result in the largest homeless camp removals since the city swept the infamous Jungle encampments in 2014.

On Monday, the city began breaking down dozens of tents, treehouses and other makeshift homes, and removing homeless individuals living along the Coyote Creek Trail — a nearly mile-long stretch starting at Olinder Dog Park to where The Jungle homeless encampment officially starts near Story Road.
