I don't think there are any easy options. I mean you can't really force homeless and addicts off the streets if they aren't blocking sidewalks or harassing people. The private security guards at Wawa can barely keep the area in front of the East Market location clear- they will stop people from standing directly in front of the door, but that's about it. They have toughened enforcement inside the Headhouse as you enter Jefferson Station- but that just means they have pushed those bodies outside for all to see on Market and Filbert.
