A look at banned squeegee zones in the first days of enforcement

During evening rush hour one day after a ban on squeegeeing went into effect in certain areas of Baltimore, several young men appeared on President Street, spray bottles and squeegees in hand, weaving their way through cars, cleaning windshields and collecting cash from some drivers. But not for long. Soon, a police officer ushered the group to the side of the road. Under a new enforcement plan; they were no longer able to work there. “There’s no future in squeegeeing,” he told them. “We want you to be successful. We want you to think of your future.” He shook the boys’ hands, and they walked away.
