Expanded outdoor dining rules in Chicago could soon be permanent
The City Council License Committee is expected to vote Tuesday on a plan to make permanent an outdoor dining program that helped Chicago restaurants and bars survive the pandemic.
Those expanded outdoor dining rules expired at the end of last year, but Mayor Brandon Johnson has introduced a plan to make them a permanent part of the city's municipal code, and allow restaurants and bars to open those larger patios and sidewalk cafes again this year. For Dost, making those rules permanent is crucial, because, in his words, the pandemic is not over for small businesses.
Retail food establishments with a license for"on-premises" consumption would be eligible for expanded outdoor dining permits, allowing them to set up tables in the curb lane outside the business, in neighboring parking lots, on sidewalks in front of neighboring businesses, or in the street if three businesses on the same block request permission.
