Mayor Garcetti recently launched L.A. Al Fresco, a new program to temporarily provide expanded outdoor dining opportunities for restaurants as dine-in services are allowed but with limits on capacity. L.A. Al Fresco aims to help businesses reopen while allowing customers and employees to maintain the physical distance recommended by public health officials by temporarily relaxing the rules that regulate outdoor dining. This will enable restaurants to expand their potential service despite limited indoor space.
The City is offering streamlined, immediate approval for eligible restaurants to provide outdoor dining in the following areas:
- Sidewalks
- Private Parking Lots
The City is also collecting expressions of interest from restaurants, groups of restaurants or entities such as Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Business Associations, and Chambers of Commerce to potentially expand the program to the following outdoor areas at a later date:
- Street Parking Spaces (Parklets)
- Partial and Full Street Closures
Please also contact TERA if you are interested in utilizing parklets or partial/full street closures and we will work with you to support your request.
