City has plans to calm the Village

Several establishments in the Village closed their terrasses earlier this week but they reopened after the mayor revealed the city’s plan to calm things down in the area.

La Presse says not everyone is thrilled with the plan, but it’s not clear what they want besides shipping all the homeless somewhere else – not something the city can or would do. There will be more cops and more social workers on the ground for the moment, at least.

It wasn’t good news for the area that a teenager was stabbed in a Village park overnight.
