After years of persistent efforts, a significant step has been taken to address the long-standing issue of RV encampments near the Creek Wetlands on Jefferson Blvd. at Pacific Coast Highway in Westchester.

The area, which has been plagued by parked RVs causing concern for residents, is finally seeing progress as the clearing process has commenced. Community members, who have been fighting for this day to come, expressed their relief Sunday and hope for positive changes.

The stretch of the wetlands that was once lined with a massive collection of RVs and cars is now witnessing an empty space, marking the first time in years that such a transformation has occurred. The removal of the encampment has resulted in a substantial reduction in the overflow from the population living on the streets, providing a positive impact on the local environment and ecosystem.
