Ann Arbor bars, restaurants ready to expand patios into street this evening
Downtown Ann Arbor streets closed to make way for bar, restaurant patio seating
ANN ARBOR, MI - Bars and eateries in downtown Ann Arbor will expand patio areas into streets this evening as the restaurant scene gets going again after months of mandated closures.
After City Council voted unanimously to OK a street-closure plan for its downtown businesses, the city has approved the following downtown road closures beginning at 2 p.m. every Friday until 8 p.m. on Sunday, beginning Friday, June 12, through Sunday, Aug. 23.
The closures include:
- Main Street from William Street to Liberty Street.
- Main Street from Liberty Street to Washington Street.
- Washington Street from South Ashley to Main Street.
- Maynard Street from East Liberty Street to East William Street (closure is seven days a week).
- East Liberty Street from Thompson Street to South State Street.
- South State Street from East Washington Street to East William Street.
Closures beginning on Friday, June 19 include:
- Church Street from South University to Willard Street.
- Detroit Street from East Kingsley Avenue to North Fifth Avenue.
- Forest Street alley.
City leaders say the closures will allow more space for businesses whose seating or sales capacities are restricted by state orders to safely operate amid the COVID-19 crisis, and give pedestrians and cyclists more room to get around safely while maintaining physical distance.
Michigan’s stay-home order was lifted Monday, June 1, by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, signaling a milestone in the COVID-19 pandemic as cases trend downward.
Bars and restaurants were allowed to open for indoor and outdoor dining at 50% capacity starting June 8, as long as each table is six feet apart from others.
In addition to weekend closures, Ann Arbor’s street-closure plan calls for full closure of Maynard Street at all hours starting June 12 at the request of the State Street District.
