Children on a trishaw passing restaurant patrons dining al fresco during a lantern festival in Love Lane last year. The plan is to close Love Lane from 7pm to 4am every evening from the Chulia Street end to the Muntri Street and Stewart Lane cross junction, a length of about 150m. “The council sent notices to the residents and stakeholders nearby, notifying them about the closure plan.
