Day 30 of 16th St. Plaza cleanup Patrols rise as streets shift

On Thursday morning, San Francisco police officers intensified their patrols around Caledonia Street, especially near the 16th Street BART Plaza. They approached a middle-aged man covered with a blanket, who, after identifying himself, declined medical assistance for a minor injury. Just seventeen minutes later, sheriff's deputies arrested another man at the corner of Caledonia and 15th streets due to an outstanding warrant. Mission Local has reached out for further details on this arrest, emphasizing the ongoing law enforcement presence in the area. Meanwhile, the neighborhood saw a mix of activity, with minimal foot traffic reported near Mission National Bank, which usually has a security guard present.

As the morning progressed, vendors began to set up their stands, indicating a shift in local commerce. The southwest 16th Street Plaza remained notably clean and calm, contrasting with the heavier presence of individuals observed on Capp Street. This evolving scene reflects the community's dynamics amid heightened police patrols.
