  • Orange Avenue Median Regulation:  The City has installed signs in the median in the 800 block of Orange Avenue to inform the spontaneous crowds that gather there nightly of the City’s municipal codes. Several are outlined on the signs, including the codes on the median’s curfew, which is 11 p.m., and those concerning the prohibition of awnings, chairs and tents, except for the Independence Day Parade. The signs also ask those in the median to use crosswalks when visiting the area, clean up their trash and follow all City ordinances, including no public smoking or drinking alcohol. The ordinances that pertain to the median as well as the general surrounding area include CMC: 40.48.010 (c); 36.08.040; 40.48.012.C; and 62.30.040. Here is a link to the City’s Municipal Code.
