Notre-Dame resto guys make deal with city

The city is promising to complete its water main works on Notre‑Dame West faster than originally planned to help restaurant owners save their terrasse season – and just in time for Grand Prix weekend, as noted here.

It’s unfortunate that the work has intersected with the pandemic so’s to hit restaurants with a double whammy, but the work has already been delayed three times, and there will never be a good moment to dig up the street outside a row of restaurants.
