While restaurants and other business are in the process of reopening, Temple will continue to make it easy for restaurants and food trucks to have outdoor dining. The six-month program, started in November, might soon continue for an additional half-year after a unanimous City Council vote on its first reading of an ordinance Thursday. The program allows for downtown restaurants and bars to use public and private parking lots, as well as sidewalks, for outdoor seating space. Amanda Rice, assistant city attorney, said with the renewal of the program the city is making some changes to make it more accessible to businesses and food trucks.
