Legislative determination.

Las Vegas Municipal Code § 11.39.010

in effect

11.39.010 - Legislative determination. The City Council declares as a matter of legislative determination that: (A) The growth of Las Vegas and the continuing expansion of hotels, casinos and other businesses in downtown Las Vegas are drawing increasing numbers of pedestrians and vehicles to the downtown area. (B) Because of the influx of pedestrians and motor vehicles, the streets are becoming more congested. In this context, the introduction of slower-moving vehicles such as animal-drawn vehicles, pedicabs, and pedalbuses into downtown traffic poses unacceptable hazards to those persons using the streets downtown. (C) In hearings conducted regarding the use of such vehicles, the predecessor to the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada acknowledged the authority of the City to regulate the use of its streets for the public safety and welfare. (D) The regulations contained in this Chapter are necessary for the public safety and welfare. (Ord. No. 6555, § 3, 11-2-16; Ord. No. 6326, § 25, 6-18-14; Ord. 3317 §§ 1 (part), 2, 1987)
