[2-2-2010; 2016 Code]
The council finds that unregulated operation of play vehicles
on public streets, sidewalks, parking lots and other public areas
is a hazard both to the public and to individuals operating such play
vehicles because such operation tends to conflict with efficient and
safe vehicular and pedestrian use of such areas. The council further
finds that unregulated operation of play vehicles on private property
without permission from the owner of such property is an infringement
upon private property rights and leads to confrontations between property
owners and persons riding such play vehicles.
