Restaurant owner calls on council to consider closing part of Pitt St. May 25, 2021 Reading time: 5 min 30 s

CORNWALL, Ontario – Hassan Rafiei, owner of Schnitzels European Flavours, has put forward an idea he says will help restaurants in Cornwall’s downtown, closing Pitt St. on weekends.
Rafiei’s idea would see Pitt St. closed between Second and First streets from 7 a.m. on Fridays to 9 p.m. on Sundays and would allow restaurants in the area to increase their revenue by giving them more outdoor space for tables.
