Street performer registration will kick off Monday

On Monday, the city government as well as Boardwalk buskers should get some idea as to how the controversial new street performer system is going to work out.

The city’s new ordinance for Boardwalk performances is set to go into effect on Monday, July 27. Since Boardwalk performers can start signing up for designated performance spaces a week ahead of time, this means that this coming Monday, July 20, will be the first day that city hall is open to accept signups.

City Engineer Terry McGean presented the city council this week with sample markers that will be used to delineate the four corners of any given performance area, as the council passed a final resolution establishing 32 designated spaces for those wishing to busk on the boards from Ninth Street south.
