when will city council ban panhandling? it's bad for wheeling and traffic as well as Perkins

Yes, Wheeling, WV, banned panhandling in the streets and at intersections in November 2024 through a Pedestrian and Vehicle Safety ordinance, which began enforcement in January 2025. The ordinance prohibits pedestrians from interacting with people in motor vehicles while they are in a lane of traffic. The law is intended to improve public safety, though it faced some opposition.
