The Board's approval is subject to the following criteria <br />also: <br />The Board noted the protected bike lanes on Main Street are approximately 7' wide.

The <br />Board noted this will count the 1' of the brick band as well as 1' from the protected bike lane as part of the ADA <br />clearance (which is a minimum of 4'). Additionally, the Board will require installing a sign on the north end of <br />the sidewalk cafe fence warning pedestrians, bicyclists and wheelchairs of the "shared zone" they are entering. <br />Attached is the sign design that the Board ask the businesses to print and install on their cafe fence. <br />This permit is for the set-up of the cafe only; the regulations for the serving of food and alcohol are outside the <br />Board's authority and will need to be followed. <br />Enclosed please find a copy of the Agreement for you records. Please be reminded that the sidewalk cafe permit <br />is only good between April 1 and October 31, 2020. Also, please be aware that the Sidewalk Cafe Application <br />and the Agreement must be applied for annually. <br />If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please call this office at (574) 235-9251. <br />Sincerely, <br />s/Linda M.
