(a) No person, group of persons or organization shall conduct or participate in any parade, assemblage or procession other than a funeral procession upon any roadway or public area, or block off any roadway or public area, without first obtaining a permit from the Park District.
Applications for such permits shall be made on such forms as may be prescribed and shall contain such information as is reasonably necessary to a fair determination of whether a permit should be issued. Applications shall be filed not less than five days before the time intended for such parade, procession or assemblage.
(b) The permit may be refused or cancelled if:
(1) The time, place, size or conduct of the parade including the assembly areas and route of march would reasonably interfere with the public convenience and safe use of the Park District.
(2) The parade would require the diversion of so great a number of rangers to properly police the line of movement, assembly area and areas contiguous thereto so as to deny normal police protection.
(3) The parade route of march or assembly areas would unreasonably interfere with the movement of law enforcement vehicles, fire-fighting equipment or ambulance service to other areas of the Park District or surrounding communities.
(4) The parade or assemblage would unreasonably interfere with another parade or assemblage for which a permit has been issued.
(5) The information contained in the application is found to be false, misleading or incomplete in any material detail.
(6) An emergency such as a fire or storm would prevent the proper conduct of the parade or assemblage.
(c) The permit or any order accompanying it may limit or prescribe reasonable conditions, including the hours, the place of assembly and of dispersal, the route of march, travel or location and the roadways or portions thereof which may be used or occupied. Any cost or expense will be the responsibility of the permit holder.
