Graffiti Blasters is a program of the city government of Chicago, Illinois to eliminate graffiti and gang-related vandalism. It uses baking soda-based solvents and paints matching the city's official color scheme to erase all varieties of graffiti.

 

An initiative of Mayor Richard M. Daley, Graffiti Blasters costs about $4 million annually and promises free cleanup within 24 hours of a phone call to 311. Prior to the program's inception, the city considered itself responsible for removing graffiti if it was on city property, but private property owners had to shoulder the cleanup costs for graffiti on their own property. Perhaps as a result, Graffiti Blasters has won much praise from landowners, business owners, as well as Chicagoans in general. By contrast, it has won much disdain from taggers and other groups, and a tagging crew called "FMD Crew" was formed in direct response. :mad:
