Outdoor seating and social spaces at restaurants downtown could be expanding as part of a Georgetown effort to revamp pedestrian spaces around the business district.
Called parklets, restaurants would be allowed to expand into sidewalks and public on-street parking areas for extra outdoor seating or to create “sidewalk cafes” that are three parking stalls wide.
