MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A pair of Milwaukee area park and ride locations are closed to prevent their use by unhoused people.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation announced the closures Monday.
A DOT spokesperson said people have set up tents and have been living in spaces meant for commuters to park their vehicles to take Milwaukee County Transit into the city.
Multiple police and fire calls have been made to the lots in response to gunshots and overdoses.
Social service groups have helped 80 people who had been living in the camps find new homes.
