Tucson's biggest homeless camp, at the "100-Acre Wood" bicycle park, is poised to end by May 15.
That's when the city has promised Davis-Monthan Air Force Base that it can have free and secure access to an area where D-M must start soil testing for PFAS chemicals. The testing means expulsion for the residents of one part of the huge camp on the north side of East Golf Links Road, where it meets South Alvernon Way.
It's the first wave of what is likely to be a general clearing out of the 100-Acre Wood, often called "The Acres," this year as the city prepares to renovate the area's mountain biking trails.Â

For Star subscribers: The 100-Acre Wood, the site of Tucson's largest homeless camp, is to be partially cleared out in early May. New plans for mountain-bike trails spell the community's eventual doom.
The clear-out notice was given Tuesday to people living in the northern portion of The Acres, on the north side of East Golf Links Road where it meets South Alvernon Way.
