animals prohibited during downtown special events

Animals are not allowed in downtown event areas during special events

Watch for how the ordinance defines the “designated” event area and what enforcement and signage plan is described.

City Council is set to change the rules so animals are prohibited inside a designated downtown special-event area during Applefest, at the Rotary Club’s request. The city frames it as matching rules already used for other big events. The practical question for residents is where the boundary lines are and how it’ll be communicated and enforced.
