Enforcement of the city’s squeegee ban appears to be off to a slow start as kids are routinely spotted at intersections in the enforcement zones.

On Jan. 10, 2023, Mayor Brandon Scott’s squeegee collaborative took effect, banning the activity at six intersections that had some of the most issues with motorists. However, a week after the implementation, there are squeegee kids who have continued to flout the law and stand on the corners.

Once the program began, Shelonda Stokes, president of the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore and a member of Mayor Scott’s squeegee collab, said the Baltimore Police Department would begin issuing warnings and citations. The plan began with two warnings before a citation would be issued.

It’s unclear how many citations and warnings have been issued as of Jan. 16, however; BPD has yet to respond to questions regarding the enforcement of the plan.
