This week the Seattle City Council unanimously passed an extension of Cafe Streets permits through May 2022!

Cafe streets "add to the quality of our lives, not just the quantity of our parking spaces." They're good for public health, businesses and workers, and our communities.

We have five draft ideas to shape a permanent program:
1) Require Accessibility
2) Ensure safety
3) Encourage collaboration
4) Make the program equitable
5) Go big
