What's the solution to the problem businesses are having with loitering in the bus shelters downtown? The Bemidji City Council voted on Monday to leave the bus shelters in place at 4th and Beltrami downtown--for now, at least.
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) had requested they be removed and, while not mentioned in the DDA's request, the assumed reason is because the shelters have become the day-long hangouts for a group of people--and they are not downtown for the shopping.
Here's an extreme solution to the problem.

WOW! Let's hope it never comes to this!!
There is a problem with loitering and panhandling downtown. The community needs to work toward a solution that works for everyone. Any ideas?
