Town of Kilmarnock is installing three public gathering spaces, known as ‘parklets’, on portions of the sidewalk within Steptoe’s District. They will be in front of Burke’s Jewelers , The Rivah and Higher Health Foods. This pilot project, done in cooperation with downtown consultancy ReThink Main Street, is designed to provide eye-catching spaces that increase foot traffic and provide amenities that encourage customers to linger. These spaces will be up until late Fall and may return in 2022.
