The St. Augustine local news desk at Historic City News received a report Monday night that the City Commission had approved an outdoor dining plan along the west side of the first block of Aviles Street.
The next step will be finalization of an agreement with Trinity Episcopal Church that will allow use and revenue sharing of their parking lot on Artillery Lane.
The city will then undertake the reconstruction of Aviles Street to provide the space for the cafe tables.
The outdoor dining ordinance will take effect 90 days after contract signing with the church to convert its parking area on Artillery Lane to metered parking.
The church and city would share parking revenue, the city’s portion going toward an estimated $225,000 rehab of the street. That will include extending the sidewalk on the west side over current parking spaces.
