No. 499]
The permit application shall be reviewed by
the City Administrator or his/her designee, Chief of Police, Street
Foreman and other interested City officials and may be denied if,
in the opinion of the Chief of Police the conduct of the parade along
the streets or highways or portions thereof on the date requested
would unduly interfere with the flow of vehicular traffic or would
otherwise be such so as to hinder or unduly interfere with the proper
protection, safety, health, welfare and well-being of the citizens
of the City of Breckenridge. In the event of the denial of the permit,
the City Administrator or his/her designee shall advise the applicant,
in writing, of the reason or reasons of the denial of the application.

of all litter, debris and other material from the streets or highways
upon which the parade was conducted and shall provide for such cleanup
immediately upon completion of the conduct of the parade.
Any parade conducted pursuant to a permit issued
pursuant to the terms of this chapter shall be conducted so as not
to obstruct any roadways, highways or public or private entrances
such that emergency and hazard vehicles may pass in response to any
emergency.
