Galena City Council Considers Extending Outdoor Dining on Main Street

Galena City Council members are considering whether to continue outdoor dining on Main Street next year, while some would like to see it go on even longer. Council members have discussed re-implementing in 2021 a policy that closes part of Main Street so adjacent restaurants can serve patrons on the street. The policy was created this year to provide those businesses a way to serve customers during Illinois’ ban on indoor dining to curb the spread of COVID-19. Council members ultimately voted to table the proposal so it could be researched further.
