40:56-69. Ordinance; provisions; limitations
    a. A pedestrian mall ordinance shall set forth the findings required by section 4, designate the streets or parts thereof to constitute a pedestrian mall, limit the use of the surface of such streets or parts thereof at all times or during such hours or days as the governing body shall determine to pedestrians and to such classes of emergency, public works, maintenance, service and utility transportation vehicles as are defined in the ordinance and prohibit the use of such streets or parts thereof by other vehicles, and such further provisions as in this act required.

    b. The ordinance shall not limit vehicular use of an intersecting street crossing a pedestrian mall street or part thereof, and the ordinance shall so provide.

    c. If the governing body shall further find that a pedestrian mall street or part thereof is served by a transit utility engaged in mass transportation of persons within the municipality by bus or street railway, and that continued use of such street or part thereof by such transit utility will be of benefit to the municipality and the public and to adjacent property, it shall permit such transit utility to use such street or part thereof for such purposes to the same extent and subject to the same obligations and restrictions as are applicable to such transit utility in the use of other streets of the municipality.

    d. If any property abutting upon such street or part thereof does not, at the time such ordinance is adopted, have access to some other street or alley for delivery of or receiving merchandise and materials, the governing body shall provide in the ordinance for the issuance of a permit or permits to the owners or occupants of such property for the use of such street or part thereof for deliveries, or otherwise in the ordinance provide for deliveries, during such hours and days, which need not be ordinary business hours or days, as the governing body shall find to be reasonably adequate for such purpose and which will not interfere with the use of the street or part thereof by pedestrians and other authorized vehicles.
