Richard Stradling, News & Observer – The N.C. Department of Transportation says it will take a less aggressive approach to removing people living under its bridges and along its highways after it drew criticism for clearing a homeless camp in Asheville last week. NCDOT says it will abide by guidelines put out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that say clearing homeless camps during the coronavirus pandemic can increase the spread of COVID-19.
