The street committee of village council met Tuesday evening to discuss sidewalk use.
Can a business put signs or merchandise on the sidewalk? What about tables and chairs in front of a restaurant? Can a business that sells alcoholic beverages serve customers while sitting in a cafe-style seating arrangement on the sidewalk?
Issues of safety, liability, and freedom to do business were discussed.
Some committee members, the mayor, other village officials, and members of the public had differing views.
