I have to disagree 4444. Long term plan is to build more bikes lanes. The bike lanes will fix everything. Then ticket the drivers driving in the bike/bus only lanes and all that revenue will pay for more bike lanes.
In all seriousness though, I work near the DTES and it isn't working. There are still a lot of empty buildings or buildings that need to be torn down and rebuilt. I pass by Chinatown everyday and only a few stores are actually busy. After 6 pm, it is almost completely deserted.
Even the front door steps to the old police station is fenced in to keep the homeless people from sleeping there.
While there has been some improvements on the DTES, it is much easier for people to move away from there than to move all the DTES people.
