1.
In order
to protect the health, safety and welfare of persons utilizing the

within the Borough of Red Lion, smoking shall not be permitted by
any person on the Red Lion Mile Recreation Trail, in Fairmount Park

Smoking” signs, with letters of not less than one inch in height

symbol (consisting of a pictorial representation of a burning cigarette
enclosed in a red circle with a red bar across it) shall be clearly
and conspicuously posted at reasonable places and intervals along
the Red Lion Mile Recreation Trail, at the entrances to Fairmont Park
