Diners seeking to enjoy the outdoor street seating at downtown Plymouth restaurants can enjoy the al fresco ambiance through the holiday season.
Members of the Plymouth City Commission approved a temporary extension of sidewalk patio season through Dec. 31, at their regular meeting Oct. 18. The temporary extension applies only to outdoor patios located on public sidewalk areas and does not include the extended patios located in on-street parking areas or areas on private property.
Businesses with on-street patios and extended patio areas on private property will be required to vacate their space on or before Nov. 1, according to the new ordinance approved by the commission members.
Commissioners also authorized up to $24,000 for the design phase and $8,000 for the initial construction phase for improvements to the bathrooms at the Plymouth Cultural Center. The architectural work is expected to be completed by NSA Architecture of Farmington Hills.
The work will be funded by a $250,000 grant from the State of Michigan to make improvements to the facility to meet ADA compliance.
