A midnight curfew and restrictions on alcohol sales in South Beach go into effect Thursday.
restrictions in place, authorities set an 8 p.m. curfew in the entertainment district and restricted access to causeways that allow traffic onto the island. Video footage showed police firing pepper balls as they enforced the curfew.“It’s almost as if hitting repeat,” Novick said of this year’s spring break, noting that 2020 was chaotic as well.City manager Alina Hudak said she has spent six months trying to ensure a different outcome this year.
“Our city is an island with limited capacity,” she said. “It was not built for these types of crowds and it is not possible to accommodate the volumes of people we have seen this weekend in our public park, in our public streets and on our sidewalks.”Police chief Rick Clements said Monday that 100 weapons were seized during the first four weeks of spring break this year, compared to 85 during the same time period in 2021.
Novick said the curfew might prevent some bad behavior, but he is disappointed the city was again playing defense.
