St. Charles adopts Carnival rules
The ordinance, which became law on Dec. 16, 2008, prohibits any person or group from obstructing, barricading or preventing access in any way to public property, including neutral grounds, rights of way, streets or sidewalks. This also includes connecting ladders or chairs to reserve space along a parade route. Parade-goers are further prohibited from placing barricades or trailers within 5 feet of the edge of the street or curb to allow passage of the general public along the route.
Note that similar rules ALREADY EXIST in Orleans Parish but have been poorly enforced in recent years. Mardi Gras is for everyone to share. Please do not hog the public space in 2009.
