Up to 100 concerned citizens gathered Friday night to protest the privitization of the sidewalk out front of Baywalk outdoor mall. The St. Petersburg City Council voted 5-3 to privatize the sidewalks in front of Baywalk.This privitization violates the free speech amendment of the constitution and it also creates precedence for privitization of other 'common' areas. The illegality of protesting or other group demonstration will go into effect December 2, 2009. The sidewalk was sold to Wells Fargo Bank for $700,000.
