Beginning today, St. Clair Avenue between North 8th and 9th Streets in downtown Sheboygan will close to through traffic for the next six months. Instead of accommodating cars, the 1-block stretch will undergo a transformation into an area for people on foot or bicycles to gather together for a little something to eat and drink, or to just spend time enjoying the outdoors. The idea is called a “Parklet” that will feature landscaping, bike racks and other features that make visiting downtown Sheboygan something special.
The parklet first appeared two years ago as an effort to make the downtown area more attractive to pedestrians and those who use non-motorized transportation, support local businesses, and enhance the public space.
Good ideas tend to come back, and this will be the third year for the feature that will be available until November 15th on St. Clair Avenue between Paradigm Coffee & Music and the 8th Street Ale Haus.
