Downtown San Jose made major temporary changes to accommodate COVID-19 concerns including closing off the popular San Pedro Square to traffic to help businesses operate outdoors. But now, the city has to decide if it wants that change to be permanent.
But not every business is on board with the proposal.
Tom McEnery, a former mayor, and a market square property owner said that easy access to parking as well as good traffic circulation is critical to a downtown and wants the city to make sure every business benefits."There’s a number of properties that already have patios because of the pandemic. Because of different issues. They’re not at full capacity now and then, to go out and expand their territories.
Peralez will send his first signal to the San Jose City Council's rules committee on Wednesday before it can go to the full city council. “At the end of the day, I recognize we may not get a 100% of the businesses and property owners on board. I would still say this is the direction to go. That’s the signal I wanted to be able to give this week,” he said.This article tagged under:
