The city of Tyler is motivated to keep this area under Gentry Bridge clear at least partly because in the last few years it’s been a dangerous part of town.

HOMELESS OUT IN THE COLD By Justin Honore | February 13, 2021 at 5:49 PM CST - Updated February 13 at 10:32 PM
TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - A group of Tyler volunteers is trying to make sure everyone has a warm place to stay during the winter storm.
The group has bought motel rooms that will house the homeless who have nowhere else to go and canât stay at the Salvation Army. In addition to providing housing, they are providing them with three meals for the day as well as coordinating them with UT resident doctors to help take care of their medical needs.
