The Village of Theresa recognizes that Village streets and highways
are primarily for the use of vehicular travel. It further recognizes a need
to use these public streets and highways for processions, parades, runs, walks,
bicycle races, marathons, etc., which do not substantially interfere with
the public's right to travel on such streets and highways. This chapter is
intended to regulate and control nonvehicular use of the streets and highways
and to protect the general welfare and safety of the persons using the streets
and highways within the Village. Said authority to regulate is contained in
§ 349.185, Wis. Stats., and related sections.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meaning
indicated:
HIGHWAY or STREET
Has the meaning set forth in § 340.01, Wis. Stats., and
also includes areas owned by the Village of Theresa which are used primarily
for pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
The Village Clerk-Treasurer or Chief of Police may revoke a permit already
issued if the official deems that such action is justified by an actual or
potential emergency due to weather, fire, riot, other catastrophe or likelihood
of a breach of the peace or by a major change in the conditions forming the
basis of the standards of issuance. In lieu of revoking a permit, an above-named
official may require the permittee to file evidence of good and sufficient
sureties, insurance in force or other evidence of adequate financial responsibility,
running to the Village of Theresa and such third parties as may be injured
or damaged, in a amount depending upon the likelihood of injury or damage
as a direct and proximate result of the holding of the usage sufficient to
indemnify the municipality and such third parties as may be injured or damaged
thereby, caused by the permittee, its agents or participants.
Prior to issuance of the permit by the Village Clerk-Treasurer, each
permittee shall furnish evidence of a liability insurance policy in amounts
of not less than $100,000 for one person and $500,000 for any one accident
and which shall be in force and effect at the time such usage is to take place.
Said evidence of insurance shall include a certificate of insurance naming
the Village of Theresa as an additional insured in connection with said usage.
