๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ฆ๐ช๐๐๐ฃ: Rangers Move In During Venice Homeless Cleanup
VENICE, CA โ Friday, May 8, 2026 โ City crews conducted a coordinated multi-agency cleanup operation Friday along Venice Beach following the posting of a โNotice of Major Cleaningโ earlier in the week. The notice directed individuals to remove all personal property from designated areas by Friday morning, advising that sidewalks, recreational zones, and surrounding public spaces would undergo comprehensive sanitation, including power washing. Property remaining after the deadline was subject to removal under city regulations. During the operation, crews encountered individuals camping along the Venice Boardwalk and adjacent beach areas. In accordance with Los Angeles Municipal Code ยง56.11, Environmental Compliance Inspectors (ECI) advised individuals to gather their belongings and clear the area so cleanup operations could proceed. The individuals complied with instructions and left the area without incident. No citations or arrests were reported. The response involved Los Angeles Park Rangers Security Services, Los Angeles Police Department officers, the Department of Public Works, Environmental Compliance Inspectors, LA County Beaches & Harbors, Clean Harbors Environmental Services, and a homeless coordinator from the office of Councilwoman Traci Park. Public Works crews removed accumulated refuse and bulky items, including four shopping carts observed at the site, while Clean Harbors personnel handled hazardous materials identified during the cleanup. Park Rangers and police officers remained on scene to monitor compliance and maintain security, while city representatives assisted with coordination. City officials describe these operations as part of ongoing efforts to maintain sanitation and public access in high-traffic coastal areas while enforcing municipal regulations governing the storage of personal property in public spaces. Santa Monica Closeup continues to document public events of local significance across the Westside, including homelessness outreach, law enforcement activity, and coastal cleanup operations. #VeniceBeach #Homelessness #Unhoused #LAPD #EncampmentCleanup #PublicSafety โ โ ๏ธ ๐๐ข๐ฃ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ This video is protected by copyright and provided for personal viewing only.
