The St. Helena City Council agreed Tuesday to wind down the Hunt Avenue Hub, a downtown pop-up park created through a temporary street closure, but itâs going to keep looking for creative ways to create outdoor gathering spaces.
The city will close the Hub in 30 days or when Napa Countyâs COVID-19 rates move it from the Purple Tier into the less restrictive Red Tier, whichever comes sooner.
The Hub was introduced on Oct. 30 on Hunt Avenue between Main Street and Railroad Avenue. People were drawn to it during a time when restaurants were barred from serving customers indoors and sometimes even outdoors. Public use dropped with the onset of cold weather.
