Posted by vfrt on Fri Aug 24 17:26:53 2007, in response to Re: Ready for the S55 reroute & the new S89 on Staten Island., posted by David on Fri Aug 24 15:10:22 2007. The law was passed in 1907, called "The Public Conveyance and Manure Cart Act". It states that "for a period of 100 years hence public conveyances of any sort, whether they shall be beast-drawn, electric-traction, steam-traction, human-traction, manure cart or other carriage shall be prohibited from any roadway or turnpike where a majority of property owners have deemed in petition to the Board of Alderman that such public conveyances are a nuisance. The only exception therein shall be in time of insurrection, war, flood, or Act of God calamity thereof." The law is still in effect, but will expire on 12/31/2007. |
