Culver City Could Add Even More Outdoor Dining Amid Pandemic

CULVER CITY, CA — Culver City Council will consider a temporary lane closure Monday, a move to continue expanding outdoor dining in the wake of the coronavirus.

Restaurants in LA County are turning to outdoor dining during the pandemic as businesses continue to recover from the economic fallout of the pandemic.

The proposed temporary lane closure in Culver City would be along westbound Washington Boulevard between La Cienega Avenue and Adams Boulevard, in addition to a temporary street closure on Hargis Street between Washington Boulevard and the alleyway.

"These temporary closures would provide areas for expanded outdoor dining and services to support businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic," the city said in a statement.

"The City Council will also be considering sponsoring temporary public parklets (small seating and green space areas) to support restaurant recovery in the City.
