Lawrence city commissioners on Tuesday unanimously voted to move forward with an extension of the city’s temporary “parklets” while staff develops a long-term program.
Most visitors to downtown Lawrence like the parking stalls-turned-al fresco dining spaces and would use them in the long term, according to the city’s recent survey.
Last summer, the city of Lawrence started implementing temporary parklets to expand outdoor seating for businesses during COVID-19. Now those parklets might be around for a while longer.
