Vancouver plans to close sound wall homeless camp along Mill Plain
The city of Vancouver will close the West Mill Plain Boulevard sound wall to camping March 5 after almost a year of complaints from neighbors.
Winter weather delayed the city’s original goal of closing the camp in February, said Jamie Spinelli, the city’s homeless response manager.
A sound wall — built to dampen the noise from Mill Plain traffic for residents — divides the camp from the backyards of homeowners but has done little to prevent problems from spilling into the neighborhood.
