Champaign institutes temporary loading zones for restaurants

In response to the Governor’s executive order restricting on-premise consumption of food and beverage, Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen executed an emergency order to allow for temporary curbside pickup zones in downtown Champaign to help continue food and beverage services. Patrons in Champaign are now able to order and pay for a product online or by phone and have it delivered to their vehicle in designated curbside pickup locations without penalty for parking. The City will provide parking meter covers to reserve spaces within the downtown curbside pickup zones for the exclusive purposes of allowing customers to pick up pre-placed to-go curbside orders. Patrons should park in the property adjacent to the business. Curbside pickup locations are properly marked for residents and visitors.
