RESTAURANTS SERVE MORE
CUSTOMERS.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD
GOOD MORNING. I'M IN BROWNS EDDITION RIGHT NOW... WHERE WE'VE
GOT QUITE A
FEW
FEW RESTAURANTS YOU ALL MIGHT RECOGNIZE. ONCE PHASE TWO STARTS...
THEY COULD BE STARTING
SOMETHING NEW.
INSTEAD OF JUST HAVING
SEATING INSIDE THEIR
RESTAURANTS...
THE CITY IS HOPING TO
ALLOW RESTAURANTS TO PUT
TABLES AND
CHAIRS OUT HERE ON THE
SIDEWALKS... MAYBE EVEN
THE ROADS.
THE ROADS. THIS ISN'T A TOTALLY NEW
CONCEPT. A WHILE BACK... SPOKANE WAS LETTING
RESTAURANTS GET
PERMITS TO HAVE SEATING
OUT ON SIDEWALKS AND
SUCH.
BUT THE IDEA JUST DIDN'T
REALLY STICK.
NOW... THE CITY IS
HOPING BRINGING BACK THE
PLAN WILL LET
RESTAURANTS SERVE MORE
PEOPLE EVERYDAY.
PEOPLE EVERYDAY. "I THINK IN SOME CASES
IT MIGHT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A
RESTAURANT BEING ABLE TO
STAY OPEN AND CLOSING
PERMINANTLY."
SOME RESTAURANTS HAVE
BEEN SAYING THAT OPENING
JUST
HALF OF THEIR SEATING
AREAS... WHICH IS ALL
THEY CAN DO IN PHASE
2... JUST ISN'T WORTH
IT.
THAT'S WHY THE CITY IS
WORKING TO MAKE IT AS
EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR
RESTAURANTS TO GET THE
RIGHT PERMITS.
THAT OUTSIDE SEATING
WILL STILL HAVE TO
FOLLOW SOCIAL DISTANCING
RULES... BUT WILL BE
GIVING RESTAURANTS MORE
OPTIONS.
OPTIONS.
OPTIONS. CITY COUNCIL IS VOTING
AT SOME POINT TODAY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
