The Downtown Sidewalk Dining Permit is intended to facilitate outdoor dining in the downtown area to create an active streetscape, enhance the economic and social vitality of the downtown area, and promote pedestrian and retail activity; to allow for the use of public sidewalks for such outdoor dining; and to expedite the approval of such facilities while ensuring that the public’s use of the sidewalks will not be significantly impaired by such dining; and to prevent any adverse impact to adjacent properties from such dining.
