Actress Vanessa Hudgens was in the district earlier this month. She was photographed by a fan who posted the photo on Instagram.

Perhaps Hudgens was here to shop the market, which is known for its expertly curated goods. Last month Karlie Kloss Snapchatted herself in the district.

March 2016 Trash Tonnage Report



BID Staff Met with Chief of Police Charlie Beck to Discuss Homelessness
At April's CCA Executive Committee, Chief of Police Charlie Beck addressed CCA members about LAPD's ongoing efforts to combat homelessness.

Homelessness continues to be one of the most pressing issues that downtown stakeholders are concerned about. Chief Beck recognizes that people living on the streets is detrimental to public safety. He believes that solving the issue will take a collaborative effort between all stakeholders and will require strong local leadership. Also at the meeting, Chief Beck introduced new Chief for the Central Bureau, Deputy Chief Robert N. Arcos.

Members raised concern over recent attacks on seniors by homeless individuals and the negative effects it will have on the "downtown renaissance." Chief Beck responded by stating that LAPD has doubled the number of System-wide Mental Assessment Response Teams (SMART) to deal with this issue.
