Barriers added to intersections off of Aurora, because the city hasn't done anything to stop the crime in the area.

I noticed someone put up blocks on the intersections of 97th, 98th, and 105th and Aurora with the hopes of limiting some crimes or maybe just increasing the chances they will be caught.

It’s honestly sad how bad it’s gotten in this area and how little the city or mayor care to fix it. I know aurora has a history of sex work and gun violence, but it’s gotten bad. I am not sure these barriers are going to change things but at least people are trying something instead of ignoring the obvious issues.

I am curious if the city or the mayor is going to do anything to help with the increasing crime in this area because it’s getting worse.

I also wonder if SDOT is going to let these barriers stay.

Edit: I want to add that I am not against consensual sex work. I am against sex trafficking and with all of the harm being done to the sex workers lately, and the extremely young girls out there, I feel like it’s not consensual work.
