Businesses may now use the space in front of their buildings to display merchandise sold by that business
In a bid to promote pedestrian activity on Queen Street and nearby commercial streets, the City of Sault Ste. Marie is easing restrictions on displays of merchandise on downtown sidewalks.
"This will help foster more pedestrian activity and allow businesses to expand their sales area, potentially creating more opportunities for revenue," says Jonathan Kircal, city planner. Businesses have previously been allowed to place small street furnishings in front of their stores, including planters, decorations and small seating arrangements, without a license of occupation.
"For example, downtown shops that do not have a storefront on Queen Street typically locate their merchandise displays in parking bays and other areas during these events," Kircal said in a report to city council.
