Centinela Bridge Encampment By Glenn Harrison he Centinela bridge encampment was finally cleaned up on Jan. 31 after several years of disregard by police, indifference of the public, and neglect by internal city and county tangled agencies whose inability to find any opportunities for solution, resulted in an amassed housing construction of thousands of pounds of wood within the lattice beneath the Centinela bridge over the Ballona Creek Flood Channel.

bridge corner, and via bicycles in the flood channel, all illegal trespassing on public/county environmentally protected land. An additional encampment was constructed in recent
months, about 60 yards south within the 90 freeway Centinela exit ramp landscape. It was also cleaned up the week prior to the bridge encampment, prompted apparently due to a late night 4 a.m. gunfight
