Doylestown Streets To Close For Outdoor Dining, Shopping

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Doylestown Borough is once again organizing a series of street closures to support local shops and restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The effort dubbed "Operation Doylestown" was first launched in June 2020 as Doylestown businesses began to reopen to allow outdoor dining and shopping to have a larger footprint in the borough.

Portions of the downtown area will close to traffic stop Friday and Saturday nights through September, allowing shops and restaurants to expand into the streets during warm weather months.

The first pedestrian zone is scheduled for a portion of West State Street this weekend. Each week, pedestrian zones will alternate between parts of West State Street East State Street and Main Street. Vehicle traffic will be closed from 5 to 11 p.m., and sidewalks will be closed to pedestrians and reserved for neighboring businesses to expand dining and shopping setups.

Parking will be available at the new County Parking Facility at Broad and Court Streets for a fee in addition to street parking throughout town.

Businesses with questions or requests should contact John Davis at jdavis@doylestownborough.net.
