May 20th, 2020, The Sechelt council approved a street patio pilot project in the downtown area, as requested by the Sechelt Downtown Business Association (SDBA). The changes transform a section of Cowrie Street, between Trail Avenue and Inlet Avenue, into a pedestrian-only area, incorporating street patios and sidewalk sales.
“Adorned with plants and furniture, an enclosed patio will increase the vibrancy to our downtown offering a much needed gathering space which downtown Sechelt currently lacks,” Legge (SDBA president) said of the SDBA proposal.
