Lake Worth wants to crack down on businesses in rights-of-way | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

After reading this article, click title for link, you will get a sense of how much of a free-for-all was going on Lake Worth rights-of-way. Commissioner McVoy over-reacts and thinks this might shut down everything including struggling artists and musicians. The city didn't have any way to regulate someone setting a "business" in a right-of-way. It might be selling seafood out of your trunk or truck bed, ice cream vendors, taxi stands, etc. This is all part of the basic A-B-Cs of being a municipality. The fact that we haven't had any way to regulate these sorts of things to protect the public should be what we are concerned about. Everyone but Commissioner McVoy agrees.
