A judge on Friday will decide whether Caltrans can go ahead with the closure of what has been a dangerous homeless camp on Caltrans property off Wood Street in Oakland.
Judge William Orrick will decide whether to uphold a temporary restraining order preventing Caltrans from closing the camp until a decision can be made on a preliminary injunction.
"Wood Street could be considered the largest area in Oakland with a concentration of encampments," city of Oakland spokesperson Karen Boyd said by email. Caltrans posted notices at the camp on July 15 and planned to start clearing it Wednesday. Orrick granted the temporary restraining order on Tuesday.
