Burlington to immediately disperse Sears Lane residents [encampment] despite councilors' pleas

The city notified residents of the encampment that they will issue trespass citations to anyone left on the site after 9 a.m. Tuesday. In an announcement that preceded Dieng’s amendment, Weinberger said the order won’t be enforced for the handful of residents who are “working with the city in good faith and have a housing plan.”

The city has obtained funds from the state Department of Children and Families to help find temporary housing for campers who want it and to store residents’ belongings for 30 days.
