Day 127 at the 16th St. Plaza: Police, DPW, Ahsing and security
Briefly

City workers, police, and outreach teams have started working into the evening hours at 16th and Mission streets. This change includes the addition of private security at affordable housing projects. The Department of Emergency Management’s neighborhood street teams have improved resource allocation to better address community needs. Notably, outreach workers have been present until 8 p.m. since early July. The daytime presence of vendors decreased significantly following intervention from DPW and police, showing an immediate impact on street dynamics. While main thoroughfares were relatively clear, some side streets remained populated later into the evening.
City workers, police and outreach crews adjusted their schedules to stay on site into the evening hours at 16th and Mission streets, enhancing their presence and response efforts.
The coordination of resources is a strategic move to better understand local needs, ensuring support and maintaining presence in the area for as long as possible.
DPW workers and police stayed late on Mission Street, urging unpermitted vendors to clear out and effectively reducing street gatherings.
By evening, while some areas remained cleared, specific side streets still had a noticeable presence of people, indicating ongoing challenges.
