No person shall encumber any street or sidewalk or, being the owner, occupant or person having care of any building or lot of land bordering on any street or sidewalk, permit the same to be encumbered with barrels, boxes, cans, articles or substances of any kind, so as to interfere with the free and unobstructed use thereof.
(b) Sidewalk Sales or Displays. No person shall use the paved portion of any street or sidewalk area, or the lateral strip area between the street and sidewalk, for the display or sale of merchandise or for any advertising display, except that in an area classified as commercial according to zoning regulations, temporary sidewalk displays may be permitted by the Building Inspector, provided it does not obstruct pedestrian traffic.
(c) Temporary Planking.
