BOISE, Idaho A program designed to help several downtown Boise businesses keep going during the COVID-19 pandemic is still in effect.
It s been about a year since a section of 8th Street was closed to car and truck traffic after a vote by the Boise City Council, which made it possible for restaurants to expand patio seating all the way to the curb.
It appears the change is bringing some good results. A recent article in Bloomberg says that, based on the number of Yelp reviews and photos, 8th Street eateries saw more interest when the street went pedestrian-only.
