City Council Cracking Down On Sidewalk Loitering

While most are respectful, I've had a few run-ins with people hanging out on the sidewalks of downtown asking for money, to use my phone, for a ride somewhere or even saying lewd things to me.

I feel this can hurt the image of our downtown, which, in-turn, hurts economic development. So I'm glad to see Spokane City leaders are making some changes to a law that would help control this behavior. KREM 2 News has the story on a change to the law that Council members are hoping will make a difference.
