CORNWALL, Ontario – At their meeting on Monday, June 14, Councillor Justin Towndale put forward a motion asking for a report on the feasibility of opening Pitt St. to pedestrians on weekends during the summer.
Towndale requested that the results of the report be delivered to Council at their June 28 meeting and would see Pitt St. closed on Saturdays and Sundays from Second St. down to Water St. This would allow restaurants to host more guests at once and help them recover from a difficult lockdown that prevented them from hosting any sit down dining for much of this year.
