The Tempe City Council has voted to rescind a controversial ordinance that put restrictions on how parks and other areas in the city could be used by residents.
“We need to preserve the quality of life for Tempe residents who live near the parks and we need to protect the constitutional rights of our residents who use our parks as a place to gather,” Tempe Mayor Corey Woods said during the Tuesday night meeting.
The vote took the ordinance passed in July off the books. It will be replaced by the city’s original code, which was written in 1967.
