N~W~ Letter from the Mayor: Dear Bike Week Visitors. On behall 01th e city 01 Dayton a Beach, I wou ld like to welcome you to o ur fine city and the "Wo rld's Larges t Moto rcycle Event." We want you to have a grea t time wh ile you are here, and we ask that you be cons iderate 01 our re side nts and all 01the other visitors who will join us lor this event. You may have read some articles or heard som e rumors tha t the city 01 Daytona Beach is no longer inte res ted in having yo u visit ou r area . I want you to know th at everyo ne is welc ome to ou r city as long as th ey follow th e same rules and laws that ou r citizens must abide by every day. Every yea r, ou r 65 ,000 citizens welcome almost a hall-million mot or cycle en th usiasts to ou r community. The city's goals include creating a balance between special eve nt tou rism and the quality ollile lor our year-round citizens . In order to move toward ou r goals , the city's Code has been am ended to create several new laws, with which we wou ld like you to become familiar. The first law has to do with public nudity. Basically, it is unlawful lor anyo ne to intentio nally appear, or cause or permit ano ther pe rson to appear, in a pub lic place in a state 01 undress. Persons in pub lic places must have lull and opaque co verings ove r their private body parts. Although some noises encountered during motorcycle weeks are unavoidable, distracting noises purposelully created by persons desi ring to attract attention to themselves may distract drivers Irom the sale operation 01the ir vehicles on public rights-ol-way. Therefore the second new law proh ibits rapid throttle advance or "revving" of an inte rnal combustion engine resulting in increased no ise from th e engine. Therefore, w e ask th at yo u be mi ndful 01 the noise that you and your mo tor cycle crea te, especiallywhile driving in residen tial areas and du ring nighttime hours. Please drive quie tly and res pectfully as yo u wo uld within yo ur neighborhoods at home. The final new law prohibits the car rying or cons umption 01 alcoholic beverages in par king lots ope n to the general public within 100 leet 01the State Road A IA right-of-way within the city 01 Daytona Beach. This new rule was des igned to minimize the excess ive noise , littering and obstruction 01 pedestrian and vehicle move ment w ithin our hotel parking areas and to kee p ou r guests sale . The salety and sec urity 01 our visitors and residents has always bee n one 01 our highest prio rities. We hope tha t you will take part in the many exciting races , co ncerts and activities that are planned lor Bike Week 2004. We want everyone to have a terrific time when they visit Dayto na Beach . Remember to please "Ride Qu iet" and be courteous to those aro und yo u. Byworking together, we will all have a great year! Please ride salely and en joy you r vacatio n!
