Edmonton has experienced a growth in crime and safety concerns the last couple of years and it has spread to various districts including Old Strathcona and Whyte Avenue. The Old Strathcona Business Association (OSBA) represents about 600 businesses in the area and many report a rise in vandalism, crime and safety concerns which are the basis for the OSBA's request for more funding and supports.
