All (including men) welcome!

Significant
street sweeps have been occurring in the DTES from increased and
aggressive ticketing for things like jaywalking to "illegal" vending.
As verified by the VPD itself, a year-end performance report shows that
officers issued 467 tickets for violations of the Safe Streets Act in
2008, compared to 202 tickets in 2007. Police officers also handed out
133 tickets for violations of the Trespass Act, up from 95 in 2007.
