RE: Sidewalk Café – 231 S. Michigan St.
Dear Ms. Anderson:
At its March 23, 2021 meeting, the Board of Public Works approved the application for
a Sidewalk Café Permit outside your establishment at 231 S. Michigan St. between the hours of
Wednesday to Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Sunday 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Please ensure
that that all electrical cords in the proximity of the outdoor dining area remain hazard-free, and
that there is five (5) feet of usable sidewalk for pedestrians.
This permit is for the set-up of the sidewalk café only; the regulations for the serving of

with those respective authorities.
Enclosed please find a copy of the Agreement for your records.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please call this office at (574)

Sincerely,
