Downtown Street Patios Expected To Return To Hunter Street This Summer

Earlier this week City Councilors endorsed recommendations for patio and pedestrian space on Hunter Street, similar to last year.

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.
