City Council shelves proposed curfew for Hemisfair Park

After back-and-forth discussions during a Thursday city council meeting, the vote to impose a proposed curfew for Hemisfair Park was shelved.

“The calls for service don’t back that up,” McManus said. “The statistical part of this that says curfews are not necessary. You’ve got the other side of this war as perception. That’s what driving this right now. But from a law enforcement perspective, to put a curfew in a park that’s in the urban hub of the city, with a lot of businesses in there and a lot of other activity. In my opinion, not a good idea.

Other people who felt weary of the language were Assistant City Manager Lori Houston and Councilmember Melissa Cabello Havrda. District 9 Councilman John Courage, on the proposed curfew’s impact on tourism, said hotels, restaurants and bars will surround the park’s future.
