Barring up businesses in downtown Kelowna

Metal gates are going up in front of the doorways and alcoves of several businesses in downtown Kelowna.

While the city has bylaws to keep people from camping out on sidewalks or on private property, even when the problematic people move on, they often leave a huge mess behind.
