The sound of music coming from street performers in and around Union Square and other neighborhoods could be silenced if legislation expected to be discussed by the Board of Supervisors Tuesday is adopted.
The proposal would allow the Department of Public Health to fine performers because the noise is considered a nuisance and the high volume is considered a health concern.
Supervisor Scott Wiener introduced the legislation at last week’s land-use committee hearing, saying currently only the police can cite performers but the department’s resources are already stretched thin.
