OT Downtown: Citizens Weigh in On Washington Square Park Performing Regulations

-

On a bright, albeit cold Sunday afternoon, dozens of people sat at the edges of the fountain or on the stone benches in the center of Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village to hear Colin Huggins tickle the ivories of his grand piano. Huggins, while a fixture in the park, is one of many outdoor performers who have been handed down summonses for a rule that took effect last year: performers aren?t allowed to play within 50 feet of a monument, and Huggins is especially found of a spot near the Arch. The City however, reportedly created the rules to control vending?including performing?in their parks and others have reportedly come out in the support of the regulations saying the performers can be annoying at times. Last Sunday, we visited the park and asked a collection of parkgoers how they felt about the regulations.
