By William CrumOklahoma City has run up legal bills topping $100,000 for outside attorneys to help defend the anti-panhandling ordinance passed by the city council in 2015. A trial is set for September in U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City in a lawsuit led by the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU asserts the ordinance tramples free speech rights and deprives individuals of their liberty. As originally written, the ordinance effectively banned panhandlers from traffic medians at busy intersections, where they ask for handouts from drivers waiting to turn left. The ordinance prohibited "sitting, standing or staying" in traffic medians.The city council subsequently relaxed the restrictions and the two sides attempted to negotiate a settlement, but those talks were unsuccessful.The amended ordinance aims to promote safety of drivers and pedestrians by restricting access to medians where the speed limit for passing traffic is 40 mph or greater.The primary effect is to prohibit cutting across busy streets between intersections.
