The city is being assisted by Vancouver police to remove tents and structures in the area, about 80 in total.
A heavy police presence surrounds Vancouver's Downtown Eastside on Wednesday morning as the City of Vancouver shuts down the site to campers.
The city says it has requested support from police to bring the East Hastings encampment to a close "following a steady deterioration in public safety and an increase in fires in the area and the encampment zone." "There are 13 police vehicles between Columbia Street and Main Street with dozens of officers," says Hainsworth.
“They’re bullies,” he said, adding they knew the action was coming. “What a waste of cops. What did the homeless ever do to cops?” VANDU members are also sharing safety concerns about staying in various forms of housing, such as shelters and single-room occupancy residences. "I was grateful for sidewalks before this, and now I'm getting kicked off the sidewalk," said Cynthia Fordham.
