Editor's note

Inasmuch as Ord. No. 2006-05-11-0569, § 2, adopted May 11, 2006, changed the name of the SBC Center Parkway to the AT&T Center Parkway, the title of section 16-240 has been changed from "Peddling, canvassing, or soliciting in the SBC area" to "Peddling, canvassing, or soliciting in the AT&T Center." The historical notation has been preserved for reference purposes.
