Frankfort Closes Kansas Street For Restaurant Outdoor Seating

FRANKFORT, IL — After a committee of the whole meeting May 28, the village board approved closing Kansas Street in downtown Frankfort to allow restaurants to expand outdoor seating. The street will be closed between Ash and Oak streets.

Village manager Rob Piscia told Patch the closure will be in effect for as long as the village is in phase 3 of the Restore Illinois plan.

"Approvals are subject to change and modification without notice if we determine it is in the best interest of the community," Piscia said.

Frankfort restaurants and bars can apply for a temporary outdoor seating permit online. All outdoor seating must comply with the six-foot minimum spacing requirement.

Several restaurants in Frankfort have reopened for outdoor dining as of Friday. You can find out which ones here.
