Signs at a South Randall Road shopping center in South Elgin warning that “panhandling or begging” is prohibited by village ordinance were not placed there by the village and are not accurate, South Elgin spokesman Craig Pierce said. Signs at a South Randall Road shopping center in South Elgin warning that “panhandling or begging” is prohibited by village ordinance were not placed there by the village and are not accurate, South Elgin spokesman Craig Pierce said.
While some comments left by readers lauded the warnings — “Kudos to South Elgin for placing no panhandling signs around the neighborhood and intersections” — others correctly noted that it’s unconsitutional to prohibit panhandling.South Elgin officials have “heard from residents and business owners with concerns about panhandlers,” he said. “We’ve gotten some resident concerns, and we’ve also heard from business owners who ask what can be done.
Stacey Hansen, a senior property manager for Bonnie Management Corp. of Des Plaines, said she has not heard of any concerns or complaints from shopping center tenants about people begging for money. That said, the mayor acknowledged he has seen an increase in the number of panhandlers in the area. In one case, a person who was asking for money at night on the Kimball Street bridge had to be asked by police to leave because it was creating a potentially dangerous situation, he said.
