A stretch of Centre Street in Niagara Falls will reopen to traffic but only during the day.
Niagara Falls City Council has passed a motion to close the stretch between Ellen Ave and Victoria Ave only after 4:00 p.m. leading up to stage three of reopening.
The area has been closed 24/7 to allow for more patio space but it was not benefiting all businesses in the area.
The city will cover the cost of closing and reopening the area on a daily basis.
Meanwhile a stretch of Queen Street will also reopen to traffic.
Council has also passed a motion to reopen the stretch between Buckley Ave and St. Lawrence Ave but the keep the area between St. Lawrence Ave and Chrysler Ave closed.
