The historic street, lined with trendy restaurants, bars and shops, is now one-way, narrowed into a single lane so shops and restaurants could build wooden pergolas on the street to create covered dining and shopping areas.
“These pergolas and sidewalk cafes provide a moment of consistency for businesses to be able to operate in changing health conditions,” said Councilman Dan Strauss. “What was not clear is how long would these permits last. So, today we’re here to say we want them here forever.”
Mayor Ron Filippelli and former Councilwoman Cathy Dauler will seek a return to State College Borough Council in this year’s election.
In a joint statement on Friday, both said that they will run as a team on the Democratic ballot in the May 18 primary.
Filippelli previously was elected to two terms on borough council from 2006 to 2013, serving one term as council president and one year as the chair of the Centre Region Council of Governments. He was appointed interim mayor of State College in December 2019 to fill the remaining two years of Don Hahn’s term after Hahn was elected district judge.
