It shall be unlawful for any person to encumber or obstruct the sidewalks, streets, alleys and other public rights-of-way by placing thereon, except as provided in this section, any goods, wares, merchandise, buildings or property, real or personal, of any description whatsoever. It shall be the duty of the chief of police to remove any such encumbrance, encroachment or obstruction.

(b)

Nothing shall prevent the temporary use of the sidewalks, streets, alleys and other public rights-of-way by persons receiving, shipping and handling any property, real or personal, as long as such use is not in violation of any ordinance or law.

(c)

If a person wishes to use the sidewalks, streets, alleys or other public rights-of-way for the purpose of storing goods, etc., he shall obtain permission from the city manager, in writing, before any such use is made.
