Permanent Outdoor Dining Expansion Proposed By Mayor After COVID-Era Rules Lapse – Block Club Chicago

A permanent Outdoor Dining Street Permit would allow restaurants and bars to once again set up tables in the curb or parking lane outside their business; A business’s alderperson will need to sign off on any outdoor dining street permits. Groups of three or more restaurants on the same block would also be able to apply for full street closures for their outdoor patios.
