Written by on August 28, 2025

The Rochester Police Department is focusing on Lyell Avenue this week to address long-standing issues like drug activity, prostitution, and sex trafficking.

Officers are walking the streets, talking to residents and business owners, and targeting abandoned buildings.

The effort goes beyond enforcement, aiming to connect people with support services.

This initiative follows similar work on North Clinton Avenue and will expand to other neighborhoods soon.
