6. Courtc/GeorgeV: A recurring topic with the City Council and around town
is the idea of experimenting with making a downtown portion of Hemlock
car-free for a late afternoon or evening. The purpose would be to make the
area much more pedestrian friendly and entice people to spend more time
enjoying the food, services, art and merchandise offered. One thought is to
create a Fair that would take place at this time. Another is to just close
the street and let the people roam free. Another is to put out some benches
and flowers in the street during this time. Another is to allow restaurants
to put tables in the street and serve customers. Another is to allow all
adjacent businesses to use the street. The City is looking into what can be
done with existing ordinances. Send your ideas and feedback to
chamber at cbor.us
