The Huntington Beach City Council on Tuesday night will consider a timetable for reopening the second and third blocks of Main Street to vehicular traffic. The City Council will meet for the first time since Aug. 3. Five days later, the City Council directed City Manager Oliver Chi to temporarily close the second block downtown to allow businesses to operate outdoors. After a successful pilot program, the City Council voted to expand the closure on Aug. 3 and shut down the third block of Main Street as well. Additionally, the council is asked to consider maintaining the third block closure or reopening it to vehicular traffic, while still allowing restaurants and commercial operations to continue utilizing parking spaces and walkways for business expansion.
