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.
