INITIATIVES PROPOSED TO TRANSFORM RICE HOWARD WAY INTO A LICENSED ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT

Rice Howard Way has long been one of the places in the downtown area where people gather. If a proposal by the community and public services committee is presented to and accepted by council in May, Rice Howard Way will become even more of an attraction. It will be proposed that Rice Howard Way become an alcohol-licensed, pedestrian-friendly area every Saturday starting June and continue at least until the end of August. Another aspect of the proposal is the closure of Rice Howard Way to vehicles from 7 a.m. on Saturdays until 10 a.m. on Sundays making it a pedestrian friendly.
