From 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday, the curfew will be in place in the area from High Street to Monroe Street and from 13th Avenue to 4th Avenue. Travel on public streets or in any public place in that area is prohibited on foot or by any mode of transportation.
According to officials, a violation can result in a fine up to $500, confinement in jail up to 100 days or both.
