Hundreds and hundreds of people are living homeless and out on the streets in Wichita. Camping out and blocking public sidewalks is simply not allowed. City workers have painted white lines in front of the Open Door shelter on Topeka Street earlier this week. Wichita’s police say it’s in an effort to clean up homeless camps that have been causing problems. … Straight spray painted lines now mark what’s public and what’s private. “(The lines) Showing where the sidewalk is and anything outside of that is going to be trespassing,” Officer Nate Schwiethale with Wichita PD’s Homeless Outreach Team said in a video on Facebook.
