[Adopted 5-5-1986 as Title One, Ch. XI of the 1986 Code]

No person shall place or establish any awning,
shade, shrubbery or tree before his or her property on or over any
part of any public way within the City of Franklin in any manner as
to inconvenience or impede pedestrian or vehicular traffic. The Director
of the Municipal Services Department shall have the duty to remove
any such obstruction to pedestrian or vehicular traffic under the
terms of this article.
Any awning or shade projecting over any part
of any public way shall be composed of cloth and safely fixed and
supported by appropriate metal rods or railings so as to in no way
impede pedestrian or vehicular traffic and so that the lowest part
of said awning or shade shall be at least seven feet in height above
the public way. Similarly, no branch or branches of any tree or shrubbery
shall be permitted to extend over any public way unless the same are
situated so as not to impede pedestrian or vehicular traffic or visibility
and further not to interfere with any structures placed in the public
way by any public utility.
