BANFF, Alta. An Alberta tourist town in Canada's busiest national park plans to continue its popular downtown pedestrian zone from May long weekend until Thanksgiving long weekend each year.
It is unclear whether the town will continue to allow outdoor restaurant patios in the pedestrian zone, after Parks Canada raised concerns about the ongoing commercialization of public space.
