Mayor Mike Houston’s proposed midnight curfew on amplified outdoor music at downtown street festivals now has a new wrinkle.
Houston’s plan also calls for cutting off alcohol sales ahead of the sound curfew, at 11:30pm… but the ordinance submitted to aldermen would apply that cutoff to all outdoor alcohol sales citywide, including at beer gardens attached to bars and taverns around town.
Some aldermen object to that restriction, and will try to amend the ordinance when it comes up for a full city council vote next week.
