Happy City St. John's, on behalf of the Living in Community steering committee, has announced needle disposal boxes and improved lighting will be installed in the area in the coming months. "And so a simple thing, like adding a couple streetlights, will really change the way that neighbourhood feels." Better lighting is coming to the Tessier Place neighbourhood, after being requested by residents and groups representing sex workers. Meanwhile, advocates for sex workers worry about maintaining the safety of the women working on the streets. Robyn Legrow says residents of Tessier Place have been waiting a long time to see their concerns addressed by the city.
