A controversial revision to legislation that will alter a Cleveland resident’s ability to protest passed the Cleveland City Council on Wednesday.
The legislation passed 14 to 4 – with Cleveland City Councilmen Jeff Johnson, Zack Reed, Brian Cummins and T.J. Dow voting against the measure.
“It may not be perfect, but that’s what led to this is pointing out where our current ordinance is vague,” said Kevin Kelley, Cleveland City Council President.
The Cleveland City Council redefined the meaning of “parade” in Section 411.05 of the Codified Ordinances of Cleveland to mean:
Any formation, march, procession of any kind, or motorcade consisting of persons, animals, or vehicles, or combination thereof traveling in unison for a common purpose upon the streets and public grounds within the City with an intent of attracting public attention that interferes with the normal flow or regulation of vehicular or pedestrian traffic upon the streets, sidewalks, and public grounds within the City.
