Council Eases Rules on Street Musicians
From Staff and Wire Reports
The City Council went along with a former mayor’s call to keep Santa Cruz “weird” by easing new downtown rules for street musicians.
The council took the first step Wednesday toward approval of a measure that would reduce from 14 feet to 10 feet the distance that musicians and other street people, including those espousing political causes, must stay from doorways, kiosks and outdoor dining areas.
The council also will look at the creation of exemption zones to encourage free speech and music.
