COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, ALL THIS AREA WAS BUILT FOR OUTDOOR EATING. ALL THAT'S LEFT ARE THE CANE A NEW YEAR END A NEW LOOK FOR THE RAINBOW DISTRICT IN WEST HOLLYWOOD ALONG WITH SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD. WERE GETTING OUR PARKING, SIDEWALKS AND A LITTLE MORE SPACE. HE IS OUTDOOR DINING SPACE KNOWN AS OUT ZONES BUT IN FRONT OF STASH AND HIGHTOPS. WE USUALLY HAVE TO WEAVE OUR

WAY THROUGH THE BARRIERS SO IT'S NICE TO HAVE A LOT OF ROOM. THE CITY ALLOWED FOR TEMPORARY EXPANSIONS IN PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS DURING THE PANDEMIC TO THE BUSINESSES TO STAY OPEN. IS GREAT FOR BUSINESS ESPECIALLY LIKE PRIDE IN HALLOWEEN. ALL OUT ZONES HAVE TO BE GONE THE GENERAL MANAGER SAYS THEY DECIDED TO DO IT EARLY. UPKEEP IS REALLY COSTLY AND WE HAD TO

PATCH IT UP CONST CONSTANTLY. LOSING THAT SPACE COULD COME AT A COST LESS SPACE MEANS LESS CUSTOMERS. IT CAN AFFECT BUSINESS. I HOPE NOT IN A NEGATIVE WAY BUT IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO CHANGE. THEY ARE MAKING OUT ZONE PERMANENT. 'S VISIBILITY AND DOES NOT MEAN MORE PEOPLE EVERY DAY THAN WE USED TO BUT DEFINITELY THE PEOPLE ARE PREPARED TO STAY. SOME OUT ZONES MIGHT STAY IN

LIKE ONE THING. HE FEELS THAT WERE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF A NORMALCY BACK. THE CITY TELLS ME IT'S WORKING WITH OTHER BUSINESSES THAT WANT TO MAKE THE OUT ZONES PERMANENT BUT THERE'S A LOT OF RULES AND REGULATIONS WITH PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY IN BUILDING AND SAFETY CODES. LIVE IN WEST HOLLYWOOD LAUREN POZEN KCAL NEWS. THAT IS INTERESTING TO HEAR THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS AND THE

RESIDENTS TO SAY WE CAN WALK CLEARLY. I LIKE DINING OUTDOORS. I WOULD MISS THAT BUT I GET BOTH POINTS OF VIEW.
