Outdoor dining and shopping downtown are poised for a big comeback this year, after the Pleasanton City Council on Tuesday approved framework along with a $100,000 sponsorship for now-monthly Weekend of Main street closures.
The city agreed to go forward with the decision and it was affirmed by the city council, Pleasanton s deputy city manager Pam Ott said. The intention of the street closures for Weekend on Main is two-fold, she said, to support all downtown businesses by providing additional space in which they can choose to expand as they work to recover from the impacts of COVID restrictions, and to encourage the community to reconnect with downtown while shopping, dining and using the services of the merchants.
PDA Board President Terri Terry said, We are working with all our strength and creativity to bring downtown back as the best place to shop, dine, work, live and play.
