The Small Business Advocacy Council (SBAC) recently announced a legislative win for Outdoor Dining in Chicago. Under the new ordinance, restaurants will have more flexibility in utilizing sidewalks, parkways, and parking areas, for outdoor dining purposes. Additionally, temporary road closures may be permitted so patrons can comfortably dine and socialize. The program will be administered by the Chicago Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection and the Department of Transportation. A business’s alderperson will need to sign off on any outdoor dining street permits.
