GARDNER Visitors to the downtown area will soon have more outside waiting and dining options while patronizing local businesses and eateries.
City officials will soon begin erecting several tables and canopies in the Maki lot across from the Gardner Ale House, one table at West Lynde Street, as well as some on the sidewalk next to the George C. Sweeney parking lot at the intersection of City Hall Avenue, Main Street and Pleasant Street.
The city received a $48,000 grant last year as part of the state’s Shared Streets and Spaces program, according to officials. The decision was made to use the funds to create outdoor dining and waiting areas for the city’s restaurants, barbers and salons as a way to help businesses with public safety and logistical improvements during the coronavirus pandemic. The grant was also aimed at funding projects that could be sustained even after the shutdown was lifted, according to officials.
A new survey unveiled this week by the Reimagine Broadway effort shows that a majority of those surveyed – those that use the bus and those that don’t – approve of the idea of having a one-seat ride from Glendale Square to downtown Boston.
In that survey, 442 people in Everett were surveyed online and on the street, and 277 used the bus primarily and 165 did not. However, 341 of them wanted to see the bus continue from Everett Square to downtown Boston in a dedicated lane. Another 312 wanted to see the dedicated bus lane continue from Everett Square to Glendale Square. New dedicated bus lanes on Sweetser Circle and during the afternoon hours northbound on Broadway were key provisions in the Reimagine Broadway initiative launched early last fall.
