10.64.020 Purpose-Additional concerns.

Additional regulation of horse-drawn vehicle operations in Old Sacramento and throughout the city is necessary. Experience with the operation of horse-drawn vehicles in Old Sacramento has raised several concerns requiring legislative action: A. Operators/drivers sometimes do not inform patrons in advance and clearly of the route, length and price of the ride being offered. B. Prospective patrons do not have an adequate opportunity to compare the price and quality of offerings by different operators before selecting a vehicle to board. C. Operation of too many horse-drawn vehicles at once in the three-square block area of Old Sacramento causes confusion, obstruction of motor vehicle traffic on the public streets and increased risks for pedestrians. D. Animals used to draw vehicles may be adversely affected by hot summer days, lack of adequate watering and other working conditions. (Prior code § 25.12.250-1)
