F Street closures could be summer fixtures Two blocks of F Street, from Second to First Street and from First to Sackett, will once again be closed to traffic for the coming summer and fall visitor season. A year ago, the Salida City Council was looking for ways to boost restaurant businesses, hit hard by coronavirus restrictions. After a negative public response nixed opening city parks to alcohol consumption â drinks presumably brought from restaurants and bars â the council decided to close the two blocks. At the time we criticized the decision, noting that it would eliminate considerable parking and that the council did not ask the public or F Street merchants for comment before taking action.
