The plan allows businesses to use on-street parking spaces for additional outdoor patio space with no permit fee for the use of the space.
This decision will reduces Hunter Street to a one-lane, one-way street and does permit the use of decorative fencing and planters to note a clear difference between the new pedestrian areas and the vehicular traffic lanes.
It is recommended that Charlotte Street remain a two-lane, two-way street. George and Water Street will remain two-lanes.
Both The DBIA and Peterborough Public Health provided guidance on this decision.
