State College Borough Council on Monday unanimously approved a license agreement that will allow a seasonal walkway that will support outdoor dining at Bill Pickle’s Taproom during warm weather months while also improving pedestrian access along South Allen Street.
The “pedlet,” will be in place from spring to fall within the two parking spaces directly in front of the 106 S. Allen St. tavern, connecting to the sidewalk and going around the Pickle’s seasonal outdoor deck. The walkway will be ADA accessible and have a fence along the street side.
Hotel State College & Co., which owns Pickle’s, will be responsible for constructing the pedlet no earlier than April 1 and removing it by Oct. 31. The company will pay a $125 a month license fee for use of the sidewalk as well as a fee to replace lost parking meter revenue. Borough Manager Tom Fountaine said the latter is still being calculated but is likely to be about $15 per day based on actual meter collections.
