Arvada Police Help Clean Up Homeless Camp Along Clear Creek

Those in the encampment were given three weeks' notice ahead of the cleanup.

"We've been working with CDOT quite frequently on cleaning these areas up and the city is actually in many cases picking up the tab or the bill to clean these up," Detective David Snelling said.
