The City of Chula Vista brought in heavy equipment Tuesday to clear out homeless encampments along a bike path near Plaza Bonita mall. Three times in recent months, CBS 8 cameras have been on site along the Sweetwater River documenting encampment cleanups. The riverbed where people have set up tents and makeshift shelters crosses in and out of Chula Vista, the County of San Diego, National City and Caltrans jurisdictions. The area bulldozed on Tuesday fell within the boundaries of Chula Vista. “This area, referred to as the jungle, has been an issue for some time now,” said Angelica Davis, the city’s homeless solutions manager. Davis was quick to point out syringe needles and crack pipes found in the encampments. She said the City of Chula Vista is trying to help unhoused people get into shelters.
