Lincoln prohibits obstructing streets, alleys, and sidewalks under LMC Chapter 14.40. Section 14.40.010 requires that streets, alleys, and sidewalks be kept clear, with penalties for violations. Placing objects, equipment, or materials on sidewalks without a permit is prohibited. LMC 14.40.030 establishes a permit process for private use of sidewalks or streets.
