Title
Amending Section 9.135(9) of the Madison General Ordinances to allow Mall/Concourse Sidewalk Cafes to store equipment overnight in the sidewalk cafe area from April 15 to November 15.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: This ordinance allows sidewalk cafes in the State Street Mall/Capitol Concourse Vending Area who do not have a roadway expansion to store sidewalk cafe equipment overnight in their approved sidewalk cafe area. This is allowed for some sidewalk cafes in other parts of the City but not for cafes in the Mall/Concourse without a roadway area. With this amendment, only equipment that is too heavy to be moved and/or capable of being secured together and locked may be stored on the sidewalk. This option will be available from April 15 to November 15 without an additional license fee.
