They approved closing half blocks of N. Church, S. Jackson, and S. High starting Friday.“We are working with people,” says Mayor Mark Eckert. “We want them to be successful. We want them to live through these terrible two-and-a-half months.”For each street closure, two businesses will share the block, using the new patio to space out customers.Mayor Eckert says they want to do this in the safest way possible. The last thing they want is a resurgence of COVID-19 or to take a major step backwards.Streets should close early Friday, with business patios opening up by lunchtime.Suggest a Correction✕× Close Ad
