City of New Orleans Extends Fee Waivers for Parklet Pilot Program through March 31, 2022
NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans today announced the extension of subsequent fee waivers for the Parklet Pilot Program through March 31, 2022, while the City continues to develop a permanent parklet program. The extension includes fee waivers for sidewalk café use permits.
The Parklet Pilot Program has been available to restaurants and bars citywide since the fall of 2020, with 40 businesses currently operating a parklet space. This program allows restaurants to utilize on-street parking spaces in front of the business to expand seating options. The additional outdoor dining space increases safe dining opportunities under COVID-19.
The development of a permanent parklet program, which requires a re-permitting process, is currently underway, and the City is working to make this transition as seamless as possible.
