Using chalk on a sidewalk is now a criminal act in Stapleton, CO.
Denver, CO. - Some call it a popular summertime pastime for children and others are calling it distracting and offensive. One Denver neighborhood HOA is trying to put a stop to sidewalk chalk art.
“It’s definitely better than video games,” said Sarah Cohen, 3-year-old Emerson Cohen’s mother. “It’s a simple pleasure for her.”
In the eyes of some, what Emerson is doing, drawing on the sidewalk with colored chalk, is a criminal act.
“My initial reaction was, ‘You have to be kidding me,’” said Cohen.
