40:56-75. Police powers and other rights and powers of municipality over pedestrian mall or special improvement district Notwithstanding the improvement of any street as a pedestrian mall or incident to a special improvement district, the municipality and its governing body shall retain its police powers and other rights and powers relating to the street or part thereof constituting the pedestrian mall or included in a special improvement district, and no such action shall be interpreted or construed to be a vacation, in whole or in part, of any municipal street or part thereof, it being intended that the establishment of a pedestrian mall or special improvement district pursuant to this act, as the case may be, is a matter of a regulation only. This act shall not prevent the governing body of any municipality, at any time subsequent to the adoption of a pedestrian mall or special improvement district ordinance, by ordinance, from abandoning the operation of the pedestrian mall or special improvement district, changing the extent of the pedestrian mall or special improvement district, supplementing or amending the description of the district to be specially assessed or taxed for annual costs of the pedestrian mall or special improvement district, or changing or repealing any limitations on the use of the pedestrian mall or special improvement district streets by private vehicles or any plan, rules or regulations adopted for the operation of a pedestrian mall or special improvement district.
