There is reaction from city council members and the public in Eau Claire after the decision to remove the park benches and picnic tables from the local park where Eau Claire’s homeless and unhoused stay.
Eau Claire sent city crews to Wilson Park this week to remove the benches and tables as a way to deal with the growing number of folks who are living in the park. Ahousing community advocate, Susan Wolfgram, has urged the public to join a meeting with city staff and council members at Wilson Park at South Farwell and Emery streets today at 2pm. That meeting aims to address the concerns and conditions of the park.
