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.'
Dozens of Vancouver police officers in cruisers, on motorcycles and bicycles, have blocked off numerous streets and intersections starting at around 8:50 a.m.
Today, City staff, with assistance from members of the VPD, will be working to remove all remaining entrenched tents and structures in the area, approximately 80 in total. The VPD will be present to ensure staff safety as they do their work and enforce the Streets and Traffic Bylaw as necessary. As of 9 a.m., it does not appear police have started to engage with any tent removal but alleys are being blocked off.
On Wednesday morning, the organization began sharing updates to its Twitter account, noting that the police created an "exclusion zone" that prevented the community and "legal observers" from entering it.
