Hamburger Harry's restaurant, at 2409 N.W. Market St., has applied for a permit with the city's planning and transportation departments to install a sidewalk cafe.

Last summer, Mayor Greg Nickels proposed simplifying the sidewalk cafe permit process to a streamlined 10-day period, and reducing the permit price to make it easier for businesses to ope the outdoor cafes.

The ordinance was passed by the City Council in October.

Comments on the application will be accepted thru March 4, and should be submitted by emailing annualpermits@seattle.gov or by mail to:

SDOT
Attn: Annual Permits
PO Box 34996
Seattle, WA 98124

Please be sure to include the application number, 87391, project address and the commenters contact information.
