LFUCG may allow the expansion of selected portions of an outdoor eating area or retail into an adjacent public right-of-
way or street for restaurants or retail businesses to provide additional space for seating or retail. This application shall
be used by a restaurant or retail business to request temporary closure of an adjacent on-street parking space or street.
In the interest of public safety, these expansions must be reviewed and approved by the LFUCG before use of the park is
permitted.

responsibility of the applicant to provide traffic control measures deemed necessary. It is also the responsibility of the
businesses along the street to activate these space with temporary materials. Maintenance and daily upkeep associated
