The state agency says the "highway right-of-way is not a safe place" to live
Minnesota Department of Transportation officials closed an encampment of homeless people living near the intersection of Lake Street and Hiawatha Avenue Tuesday morning.
Crews arrived at 9 a.m. to clear out an estimated 35 to 40 people. Notice of the closure was posted Monday at 9 a.m., Jake Loesch, MnDOT spokesman, said in an email.
"MnDOT has always maintained that highway right-of-way is not a safe place for human beings to live," Loesch said.
