The Hood River City Council authorized the continued temporary use of right of way for parklets, permits for the use of private property and parking lots for food, beverage, and commercial uses, suspension of the six-month time limit to locate food carts, and fees for park shelters for the 2022 calendar year.  City Planning Director Dustin Nilsen noted uncertainty around COVID-19 still remains for businesses.  In giving the authorization, Councilors indicated they would plan to revisit the issue in the fall.
