Rules to make permanent an outdoor dining program that was a lifeline for many bars and restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic took one step closer to being enacted Tuesday.

A new compromise ordinance was introduced by Mayor Brandon Johnson at last week's city council meeting, and today the city's Committee on Licensing and Consumer protection passed it unanimously.

Only retail food establishments that have "on-premises" consumption will be eligible for expanded outdoor dining permits. "It's important we got this passed because summer is upon us and people like to get outside and warmer weather is moving in," said 50th Ward Alderwoman Debra Silverstein.
