[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of West Carthage 6-25-2012 by L.L. No. 5-2012. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
It is the intent of the Village of West Carthage, as an exercise
of its police power, to promote the general health, safety and the
welfare of the residents and inhabitants of the Village by enacting
this chapter, since it is the finding of the Mayor and Trustees that
persons loitering on public property between the hours of 2:30 a.m.
and 6:00 a.m. is detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of
the residents of the Village and leads to the development and creation
of nuisances, including but not limited to littering and raucous or
other disorderly behavior. It is further the intent of the Mayor and
Trustees that this chapter not be considered as a traffic regulation
insofar as it relates to motor vehicles or the operation thereof.
No person or persons shall stand, be or remain in any of the
public streets or public lands located on Bridge Street from the State
Route 126 bridge at the easternmost Village limits to Jefferson Street
as well as the public parking lot on the north side of Bridge Street
in the Village of West Carthage between the hours of 2:30 a.m. and
6:00 a.m. in such a manner as to obstruct the free and uninterrupted
passing and repassing of any person or persons; and no person shall
idly sit, stand or lounge on said land; nor shall it be lawful for
any person or persons except the tenant to idly sit, stand or lounge
upon any stoop, sidewalk or platform attached to or before any store,
dwelling house or other public building after the owner or occupant
of said store or building shall have closed said store or retired
for the night in said dwelling located on Bridge Street from the State
Route 26 bridge at the easternmost Village limits to Jefferson Street
as well as the public parking lot on the north side of Bridge Street
within the Village.
