QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should the Columbia City Council approve a median safety ordinance?
Matthew Sanders
The Columbia City Council could vote Monday on an ordinance that would prohibit people from standing or sitting in medians.
The idea has support from those who want to see panhandlers gone from busy intersections along roads such as Broadway, Stadium Boulevard and Providence Road. However, critics say the ordinance targets panhandlers and protesters and is unconstitutional.
For its part, the City of Columbia says the ordinance is about safety on the roads, not panhandling.
Do you think the city council should approve the ordinance? Let us know by voting in the poll.
