The city of Lancaster is shutting down streets to drum up business at city bars and restaurants.
Lancaster is the latest central Pennsylvania municipality to introduce outdoor dining space to help businesses that have struggled in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
The first streets to be impacted by the measure are North Market Street between West Grant and West Orange streets, as well as East Grant Street between North Queen and North Christian streets, city officials said Thursday in a news release.
These streets will be open for dining Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The street closures began Friday, June 19.
Tables and chairs will be provided in the public right-of-way for residents to enjoy take-out food and alcoholic beverages, the release said.
Lancaster has also created an interactive map to show residents what restaurants are open and where they can find seating.
However, there are specific safety precautions city officials are asking residents to follow to make the outdoor dining experience work.
These include:
-No moving or combining tables and chairs.
-Visits should be limited to 60 minutes or less.
-No other tables or chairs are allowed to be brought into the outdoor dining space.
-Food and alcohol can only be consumed at the tables. Walking around with alcohol is prohibited.
-Social distancing should be followed and masks should be worn when not at a table.
-Remove of all waste when you’re finished.
The city is providing hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes at the outdoor dining areas.
At the beginning of June, Harrisburg introduced a similar measure called “Saturday Night in the City,” at tables along North Second Street between Market and Pine streets, as well as portions of State and North streets. These will be held from 6-9 p.m. each Saturday in June.
Mechanicsburg also shut down a section of North Railroad Avenue to create space for outdoor dining.
