The City of Santa Rosa Moves Forward with Sideshow Ordinance
The Santa Rosa City Council is moving forward with a new Sideshow Ordinance, introduced at their Oct. 11, 2022, Council meeting, for sideshows, including the ability to arrest or cite participants, vehicle passengers, spectators, and organizers. Over the last few years, Santa Rosa has experienced an increase in illegal and reckless driving exhibitions on city streets. Sideshows involve activities such as drifting, burnouts, and donuts, and are held throughout the city several times per month, usually in the late night or early morning hours. Hundreds of participants and spectators converge on various public streets and off-street parking lots in both commercial and residential neighborhoods. At the City Council meeting on Oct. 25, 2022, the Council will have a second reading of the ordinance for adoption, which will go into effect 31 days after that on Nov. 25, 2022. READ MORE
