Hatboro Creating Outdoor Dining Space

HATBORO, PA — Residents of and visitors to Hatboro will soon have an outdoor spot to enjoy takeout from local restaurants.

The borough, with Hatboro's Business Recovery Task Force, is creating a temporary outdoor dining area for at least the next couple of weekends.

The area, which will be filled with picnic tables, decorative lighting and greenery, will be on Williams Lane, from York Road to the rear parking entrance of Bernie's Restaurant.

For now, the dining area is planned to be open Thursday, June 11 through Sunday, June 14, and Thursday, June 18, through Sunday, June 21.

Williams Lane will be closed to vehicles during those times between York Road and Orchard Lane.

The initiative is designed to help Hatboro restaurants while the borough moves through the reopening stages of Gov. Tom Wolf's coronavirus plan. After the first two weekends, borough officials will reevaluate plans based on what's going on with reopening at the time.

People will be asked to remove their vehicles from Williams Lane on the next two Thursdays to help set up the outdoor dining area. Meter bags will be placed on Williams Lane to discourage people from using metered parking spaces.

For questions or concerns about this dining area, you may contact borough hall at 215-443-9100.
