Sandra Hansen, the owner of Motorwerkz of Dallas on Harry Hines, said she often sees women scantily dressed or in lingerie pacing the street and selling themselves. "It's tough trying to explain it to the kids when they ask [about it]," Hansen said.
She recently relocated her business from another location on Harry Hines. As Hansen browsed the area for the new site of her auto shop, she said she was shocked to see the activity taking place all the way to Walnut Hill Lane.
Dallas City Council voted unanimously to extend a 'no cruising' ordinance to portions of Shady Trail, Harry Hines Boulevard, Walnut Hill Lane and Southwell Road in an effort to control prostitution and sex trafficking. Unlawful cruising is defined as a driver passing through “the same traffic control point within a no cruising zone three times within any two-hour period.” A person can be ticketed up to $500 for cruising in one of these zones.
