Friday 5/22 marks the day that restaurants in Marion County may open up for in-person dining once again. However, Mayor Hogsett specified that only outdoor dining will be allowed for the time being.

According to WTHR, you won’t be able to drive or park here:

• Broad Ripple Avenue from College Avenue to the Monon Trail
• Georgia Street from Illinois Street to Pennsylvania Street
