City council seeks to impose curfew on pathways
P.A. city council has taken a further step towards a bylaw that could restrict the movement of people in parts of the city at night.
An amendment to the current parks bylaw that would ban access to the city’s pathways between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m passed a second reading at this week’s city council meeting. The adoption of this bylaw update is expected at the next meeting on Feb. 24.
Meanwhile, the city’s politicians will continue to explore a nighttime ban on the use of back alleys as part of their wider attempts to combat crime. However, they saw the focus on pathways as a less complicated way of getting started.
