  • (a)

    No person shall use any public sidewalk or alley closed to motor vehicles to sell, barter, offer or expose for sale any items or services. This section shall not apply to persons selling, bartering, offering or exposing for sale items or services physically carried continuously by the person or from pushcarts properly licensed under Chapter 573, merchants who normally sell, barter, offer or expose for sale items or services inside a building, room or structure as long as the items or services sold, battered, offered or exposed for sale on a sidewalk by such merchants leave at least five (5) feet of sidewalk or alley space available for pedestrian traffic, and only occupy sidewalk or alley space fronting on the building, rooms, or structure where such merchant normally does business. In addition, individuals confined to wheelchairs, or who have a physical disability which makes it impractical to physically carry items for sale or barter continuously may sell or barter such items from a maximum of two (2) containers not larger than twelve (12) inches in diameter which rest on the ground.

    (b)

    Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor.
