A prankster has added some stickers to signs to better represent the range of activities that go on on Shotwell Street, which is a designated Slow Street with city-installed signage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sticker replaces the image of a parent with children and stroller with images of sex workers, one leaning into a car and one leaning up against a lamppost. It’s a cheeky reference to the fact that Shotwell Street has become, as it has been in years past, a magnet for the sex trade \u2014 having replaced Capp Street, which had been the nexus in this area of the Mission until the city installed full blockades<\/a> around 20th and 21st streets last year to deter car-cruising, and conducted a crackdown<\/a> that included arrests of johns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SFPD conducted a similar sting<\/a> this past May on Shotwell Street, resulting in the arrests of 17 johns and 13 sex workers. But things haven’t entirely quieted down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new signage is in the vein of those fake “stolen goods must remain under $950” signs<\/a> that recently appeared in Union Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
