A plan to get rid of three parklets to make way for a new outdoor dining configuration and a wider sidewalk in downtown Pacific Grove is another step closer to happening after the city council last week selected a contractor to do the work.

The P.G. City Council on Sept. 18 voted 6-0 to hire Marina-based Silicon Constructors Inc. to do the Lighthouse Avenue Widening Project for $242,360 plus a 25 percent contingency. The plan includes getting rid of the wooden dining parklets in front of Victorian Corner, Rudolfo’s Café and Wild Fish restaurants in favor of open-air seating areas separated by fencing.

Another rule that is needed, the spaces need to be occupied more than 3 hours a day 5 days a week. Pointing at you Spotted Duck. Parklet space sits unused until 5 pm except Monday and Tuesday when it’s empty all day.
