Water Street Pedestrian Mall to End September 7

City Council announced on Monday that the Water Street Pedestrian Mall Pilot Project will conclude as of September 7 as originally planned.

Given the success of this summer’s event, the City will be working with Downtown St. John’s and businesses in the area to plan for future pedestrian malls during the summer as well as exploring the possibility of both fall and winter pedestrian mall ideas.

Business owners with decks within the Pedestrian Mall who wish to keep them operational after September 7 will be able to reach out to City Inspections Services team regarding any modifications required to ensure pedestrian pathways are available, similar to the plan put in place for decks in areas currently outside the mall.
