City workers have fenced off a large section of Civic Center Park in preparation for reconstruction on the fountain, compelling nearby camp residents to relocate.
The protest encampment at Old City Hall was formed in response to a new city policy that allows encampment clearances even without providing alternative housing.
The previously decommissioned fountain is set to be transformed into the Turtle Island Monument, honoring Indigenous peoples with a design reflecting their creation story.
The projected $3 million construction cost for the fountain project will be funded through a combination of Measure T1 bonds, grants, and city revenues.
