There is good news for those who would like to see that the Pedro Clisante street will be closed for traffic in the evenings. This concerns the part between the Bermuda Bar (Fat Herman) and the Happy Bar. The restaurant owners should be able to set their chairs and tables with colorful umbrellas on the street. Visitors can enjoy dining outside without being disturbed by noisy and smoke erupting motoconchos or by loud hip hop music from passing cars.
Moreover, tourists can safely stroll along the street and visit the various shops, bars and restaurants. Both the Director of Construction projects, as the Tourism Director have indicated to be willing to cooperate in implementing the plans. Mayor Ilana Neumann also said that she has sympathy for the plans. Formerly the big stumbling block was the parking space. With the closure of streets, much parking space will disappear. Especially the residents thought of this as a serious objection. The street's business organization with spokesman Mr Wolfgang Sch?nner, owner of the 'Schnitzel Paradise' restaurant in the Pedro Clisante, announced that the parking problem is resolved. Within walking distance of the Pedro Clisante alternative parking space is available. Wolfgang will explain the precise solution to the parking problem at a later stage.
