Impact analysis
It could help downtown businesses by curbing disruptive crowds, but the city may spend more on enforcement and lose some teen-driven spending.
Residents, families, and downtown businesses that want calmer, more predictable beach weekends stand to benefit.
Teens who gather in large groups could face curfew enforcement, and civil-liberties advocates may argue it unfairly targets young people.
