Dear Aldermen,
NH restaurants are being allowed to start serving customers at outdoor tables starting this coming Monday, May
18. Manchester has already passed an ordinance to allow restaurants to expand seating in parking areas and
sidewalks in front of adjacent businesses during the shutdown. Restaurants can submit a site plan and
Manchester is striving for a 24-hour turnaround time to approve plans. Meanwhile, at your most recent meeting,
I heard that an ordinance for expanded outdoor restaurant seating hasn’t been written and won’t be available for
a vote until a future meeting. How long after that until the restaurants get their plans approved? I thought one of
the major goals of the board was to make a vibrant downtown. In this situation, how many restaurants will be
left in the city? We have already lost Country Tavern. How many more restaurants owners are out of time and
out of money and giving up?
