As part of the City of Portland's response to COVID-19, restaurants and other establishments were allowed to apply for temporary on-street parking and road closures to provide more space for outdoor dining through the
Healthy Businesses program.
I'm hoping that the city will consider making this program permanent and allow for business to bump out curbs for permanent seating between sidewalks and the streets. Additionally, a number of street closures like at NE 28th/Flanders and NE 28th/Ankeny have noticeably improved the placemaking of these areas.
What does everyone else think?
