Meet me on Bernard is closed for the season

Summer in 麻豆精选 is coming to a close and Bernard Avenue is opening back up to traffic.

City of 麻豆精选 crews were out on the morning of Sept. 6 after the Labour day weekend to take down decorations, seating, artwork and barricades from the annual 鈥楳eet me on Bernard.鈥�

Each year, the downtown street is closed to vehicles, patios are expanded and live music fills 麻豆精选鈥檚 core with summertime vibes.

This year鈥檚 Meet Me On Bernard ran from July 1 to September 5.

Mayor Colin Basran has advocated for an earlier start or later take-down date for the 2023 Meet me on Bernard season.

Basran said he had conversations with business owners on Bernard and heard many would like to see the program expanded.

鈥淚f they could utilize it for longer I think we would see a more revitalized Bernard because you would see business owners potentially, at least some that I鈥檓 talking to, make bigger investments and then can have a stronger ROI.鈥�

Council voted in favour of the motion.
