National District Mayor David Collado says he has offered city government (ADN) jobs to windshield cleaners operating on city streets jobs. Collado said the city government carried out a survey to determine how many youths have been cleaning windows on the streets.
Data from 33 of 50 individuals who are cleaning windshields was collected. These young men were offered employment and an offer to participate in a drug rehabilitation program run by Hogares Crea for those who need that service.
Mayor Collado said that cleaning windshields at intersections in the city has been prohibited since last Friday, 14 July 2017, after the city hall issued a resolution to that effect. The authorities began removing windshield cleaners from Av. Luperón, Av. 27 de Febrero, Av. John F. Kennedy and Av. Winston Churchill intersections.
The announcement follows a similar one made by Santiago Mayor Abel Martínez responding to complaints by drivers who were being harassed at stoplights.
