McKinney officials are enacting new ordinances that will limit where people can sit, lie down or sleep in certain parts of downtown and the rest of the city. McKinney City Council members passed two new ordinances during an Oct. 21 meeting more than a month after they were tabled. The first ordinance, which applies to downtown McKinney, makes it unlawful to sleep outdoors, sit in a public street or median, or lie down on a public sidewalk, street, median, parkway or pedestrian right of way. The second ordinance approved by council applies citywide and clarifies that camping is prohibited in any publicly accessible outdoor area that’s not designated for camping.
Key:
