 HONOLULU (AP) - City workers watched Tuesday as the last of hundreds of homeless people left tents where they had camped out on a stretch of beach, and many of the homeless moved into a new government-sponsored emergency shelter.
Officials had taped notes onto the scores of tents at Maili Beach Park west of downtown Honolulu a month ago to inform beach dwellers that overnight camping would be prohibited beginning March 27. The city plans to renovate the 40-acre park.
"The people cooperated and just started taking down their tents and removing their stuff," city spokesman Bill Brennan said.
