Louisville Metro Government has expanded opportunities for restaurants to offer new temporary outdoor dining through the utilization of on-street parking spaces. Restaurants may offer outdoor dining using on-street parking spaces in an attempt to help restaurants survive the most recent restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Until Aug. 12, Kentucky restaurants may only serve up to 25% capacity inside their dining rooms, though 100% capacity is allowed outside as long as tables are spaced 6 feet apart.

The temporary on-street dining must be:
- Immediately adjacent to the sidewalk
- In public, on-street parking spaces that do not have peak hour restrictions
- On streets where the speed limit is 35 mph or less
- Located in spaces immediately adjacent to the approved business
Interested restaurants will submit plans to the city for approval before implementation. Restaurants can view a full list of regulations and submit their plan by CLICKING HERE
