Residents Describe a “New Tent City” at the Old Bridge Housing Site
By Nick Antonicello
According to residents, conditions are further deteriorating at the MTA property as locals are now describing it as a full-fledged, “Tent City”
at the Main Street location.
Sources tell Yo! Venice that the proliferation of tents and encampments are blocking access to the sidewalk.
At least a dozen individuals were seen sleeping and camping overnight at the location.
Locals are requesting that the entire area be fenced off to prevent a new, permanent presence at the lot.
Residents have reached out to city officials as well as the Council Office (CD-11) in hopes of preventing the situation from once again metastasizing.
