Pedestrians are about to get an extra day to freely roam around downtown St. Catharines.
The St. Catharines Downtown Association says beginning this weekend, pedestrian-only zones will be in effect from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays.
The move allows restaurants and businesses in the area to stretch out onto the street, while leaving extra room for people to socially distance.
Vehicles will be barred on St. Paul Street between William and Carlisle and Bond to Court Street, as well as James Street between St. Paul and King.
The closures are currently slated to take place until October 10th.
