Last week, the subject of Steateries appeared to be a bone of contention for a couple Shawnee City Commissioners as the city continues to implement elements that align with its Comprehensive Plan.
Shawnee City Commissioners Bob Weaver (Ward 2) and Ben Salter (Ward 6) voiced opposition to hindering any Main Street parking, which Streateries could potentially do. Shawnee City Planner Rebecca Blaine said it shouldn t be a problem because downtown has ample parking.
The guidelines on Streateries goes with the city s parklet resolution that was passed in 2018, Shawnee City Planner Rebecca Blaine said. Parklets line up with goals in the Comp Plan, which was adopted in October 2019 and is anticipated to guide the city s growth and development over the next 20 years.

City leaders are urging everyone to continue to respect mask requirements still imposed by some businesses in town.
On Monday, Shawnee city commissioners approved a resolution to support the efforts of local businesses that are making the choice to continue using face coverings even though the city ended its mask mandate last week.
“City Commission of Shawnee wishes to encourage compliance with the mask policies of businesses within Shawnee,” the resolution reads. “City Commission of Shawnee wishes to encourage the citizens of Shawnee to respect the decisions and policies of our local businesses.”

This week Shawnee City Commissioners voted to follow suit with some other communities, choosing to end their mask mandate at the end of the month.
The board s face-covering requirement was originally put in place in July and then was extended a couple times with the last end-date set for June 30.
With COVID-19 vaccines continuing to roll out, and being offered to most everyone at this point, as well as no spike in cases after Spring Break, some of Oklahoma s larger communities are expected to allow their the mask-wearing edicts to expire April 30.
More than half the Commission voiced that when the ordinance was first established, it was the only option for protection at the time.
