| Brockton Sidewalk Patio Application Program |
|
The Municipality of Brockton adopted a Sidewalk Patio Application Program to allow businesses to adjust to the “new normal” and re-opening with continued physical distancing and other health protocols due to COVID-19. Many restaurant and pub establishments are in need of additional space for their operations. With the arrival of summer, sidewalk and on-street patios can provide businesses with expanded space to accommodate patrons safely, while also contributing to vibrant and active commercial districts and streets. The intention in reviewing sidewalk patio applications and requirements is to ensure that universal accessibility, public safety and streetscape experience is enhanced and not negatively impacted by the introduction of a patio. Visit our Sidewalk Patio Application webpage to learn more and apply! |
