Longtime Sacramento County homeless camp asked to move from American River Parkway

Dozens of people who have called a portion of the American River Parkway in Sacramento home for years are being forced to leave. On Tuesday, park rangers gave a 48-hour notice to people living in a secluded area known as Bannon Island. According to those that live there, nearly 45 people call the island home. "There’s a lot of things there that make it unsafe for people to live in. In order to clear that area and keep people safe it is being closed completely not just to campers, but to anyone who wants to use the parkway so that fire and personnel can get in there safely and do the debris removal, the tree removal that needs to be done in order for that area to be accessed again," Janna Haynes with the county said.
