CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Signs are up on Cleveland’s greenway warning juveniles they’re under curfew on the city-owned property.

City crews put up the signs Tuesday at greenway parking lot entrances between Willow Street and Mohawk Drive.

The signs serve as visible reminders of an ordinance passed July 13 by the Cleveland City Council that says people under age 18 may not be on the greenway between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless accompanied by a responsible adult.

The ordinance was requested by the Cleveland Police Department, which has been combating greenway vandalism in recent months.

On Monday, Capt. Mark Gibson, the police department’s interim chief, told the City Council that enforcing the new curfew has gone smoothly, even without the signs.
