The Columbus Department of Public Services Battles with Downtown Businesses Over Patio Dining Codes
By: Walker
Late yesterday afternoon, a group of Downtown business owners met with employees of the City of Columbus Department of Public Services to hash out the latest in an ongoing series of battles about parking meters, valet practices and patio dining.
The loosely formed group known as the Gay Street Collaborative was led by Chad McCoury of J.Gumbo’s, who made clear that the Department of Public Services fails to provide fair customer service and support to small business owners who seek to operate in full compliance with city code.
