Sec. 24-336. - Issuance for other than public purposes.
(a) The Chief of Police may permit the temporary use of streets within the corporate limits of the City for other than public purposes and may close such streets and alleys connected therewith for public use and travel during the period of such temporary use; provided no matter advertising any thing or business is displayed in or on the street in connection with such temporary use, and the person so permitted to use the street furnishes a commercial general liability insurance policy with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, issued by a company approved to do business in the Commonwealth, insuring the liability of such person for personal injury or death and damages to property resulting from such temporary use. The City shall be named as an additional insured with at least 45 days' notice of cancellation or nonrenewal in the commercial general liability policy. The applicant shall furnish to the City a certificate of insurance containing the coverage, conditions and limits so outlined prior to the authorization of the street closure. When any street is temporarily closed as authorized in this section, and such street is an extension of the State highway system, the Chief of Police shall make adequate provisions to detour through traffic.
(b) Any permit issued pursuant to the authority conferred in this section shall expire in no more than 24 hours, but may provide for a rain date if inclement weather shall prevent the temporary use of such street for the purposes authorized in the permit.
