Fence around Echo Park Lake to come down 2 years after it was erected

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:27:06 GMT

Two years after it was first erected, a fence surrounding Echo Park Lake, which triggered protests and demonstrations, is coming down.  Initially touted as a temporary barrier that would let the city clear out the park’s homeless encampments and conduct much needed repairs, the fence quickly became a symbol of the city’s homelessness crisis.  Two years ago this week, hundreds of protesters clashed with police over the closure of the sprawling homeless encampment at the park. Since then, the city has spent $600,000 to clear tons of trash, repair lighting and bathrooms and restrict entry points to the park.  Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez says the barrier will be completely removed by the end of the week. “He said that when the fence comes down, there’s going to be 24/7 security,” Emily Lee, who lives nearby, said. “So, we just want to make sure he keeps his word and there’s security here once the fence is down...the way it was when the fence was up.”  Lee, ...

DENVER (AP) — Nikola Jokic posted his 29th triple-double of the season Monday night and the Denver Nuggets beat the shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers 116-111 in a game Joel Embiid sat out with a sore right calf.That scuttled the highly anticipated showdown between MVP frontrunners that many felt could have decided whether Embiid, the runner-up the last two years, denies Jokic a third consecutive award.With Embiid in the locker room, Jokic scored 25 points, pulled down 17 rebounds and dished out 12 assists.While insisting Embiid’s absence had no effect on his own approach to the game, Jokic praised his counterpart as a dominant force on both ends of the court.“The guy’s a beast,” Jokic said. “He can affect the game in so many ways on the floor.”The MVP clash wasn’t the race that was on Doc Rivers’ mind.“It was not a hard decision for us,” the 76ers coach said of holding out Embiid, who complained of discomfort at the team’s morning shootaround a...
