This is perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school dropout or one of those panhandling dudes to earn so much money while having so few skills.

City officials are afraid to confront the panhandlers.

I have a right not to have to dodge beggars in the street.

The signs were first suggested by Ward Three City Councilor Hugh Dunn in July 2017.

Mayor Jon Mitchell addressed the city's continued efforts to prevent panhandlers from standing on busy intersections, saying it is a very dangerous practice.

A Colorado community takes steps to regulate vagrants and panhandlers, something we should also adopt here.

'Spiked cobblestones' to discourage panhandling are catching on in Boston too.

Councillor At-Large Brian Gomes presented a motion that calls for the placement of the cobblestones at even more busy intersections in New Bedford. The Council voted for the motion to be sent to the Public Safety Committee for review.

While some City Councillors spoke out against the "spiked cobblestones" installed at one intersection to ward off panhandlers, Councillor Brian Gomes wants more.
