Kansas Street Opens For Outdoor Dining In Downtown Frankfort
The area will be fully ready and open for outdoor dining starting May 21.
FRANKFORT, IL — The seasonal closure of Kansas Street to vehicular traffic started on Monday, Mayor Keith Ogle shared during Monday's Frankfort Village Board meeting.
This annual summer closure started in 2023 and helps accommodate expanded outdoor dining for downtown businesses.
The initiative supports businesses by allowing them to extend their seating areas, "offering patrons a charming al fresco experience in downtown Frankfort," Ogle said.
