Ada village council finally laid to rest the discussion about the use of sidewalks on a regular basis by store owners displaying merchandise and signs.
At Tuesday's meeting, council members voted unanimously not to restrict business owners.
However, a proposal may be made in the future to restrict businesses, which may want to sell alcoholic beverages to patrons seated in a roped off area of the sidewalk.
The Ada village council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 5, at 6:30 p.m. will be held in the Ada Depot located at 112 Central Ave., according to Angela Polacheck, village administrative assistant.
