The Topeka City Council is expected to vote Tuesday night on a proposal that would ban public nudity.

Council member Brett Blackburn said he's responding to concerns
from constituents about a local nudist colony's recent staging of plays at the Topeka Performing Arts Center, promoting clothing-free lifestyles.

State law and a city ordinance prohibit sexually oriented displays in public, but the city has nothing on the books against mere nudity.

Blackburn's ordinance would prohibit nudity in parks and recreation areas and on streets and sidewalks. Also, a person could not be nude on private property visible from a public place. Violators would be fined $50.
