MEDFORD, Ore. The Medford City Council will hear proposals to redefine its prohibited camping ordinance for areas such as the Bear Creek Greenway during a study session tonight.
Deputy City Attorney Eric Mitton says the need comes after the court cases
Martin v. Boise and
Blake v. Grants Pass. In September 2018, the City of Medford decriminalized its prohibited camping ordinance, reducing it to a non-criminal violation.
