Kira Erickson reports from the Langley City Council meeting on Monday, Apr. 18.
A proclamation concerning outdoor dining and retail sales that originated during the COVID-19 pandemic in Langley has been extended at least another six months.
They Said It
“I think it’d be premature for us to allow this to expire at this point. While a lot of the mandates have been removed and the restrictions on occupancy are diminished, there’s still a lot of people who aren’t comfortable being in close quarters,” Councilmember Thomas Gill said, “and I think if we can allow our business community to address those concerns in a reasonable matter, I think that’s a good idea.”
“It brings a lot to a community, and I love it,” [Councilmember Rhonda Salerno] said of the proclamation. “Who wants cars out there when you can have people?”
