Longmont Downtown Development Authority Announces Bigger Hearts, Stronger Streets to Support Local Businesses
Longmont City Council unanimously voted to approve single lane closures both north and southbound along Longmont’s Main Street beginning July 6. The closure, which will include the parking stalls and adjacent lane along Main Street will be continuously monitored but could be in place until mid- to late-September. Northbound lanes will be closed from north of 2nd Avenue to 6th Avenue. Southbound lanes will be closed from south of 6th Avenue to 4th Avenue. The closure will allow restaurants and retailers to expand outdoor dining and shopping, as well as offer opportunities for visitors to Main Street to enjoy the expanded outdoor space.
