To better enhance business opportunities within Fort Erie, the Crystal Beach Business Improvement Area (CBBIA) has submitted an application to the Town of Fort Erie requesting the north side of Erie Road be temporarily closed on weekends throughout the summer months of 2021.

The request to turn Erie Road into a one-way street will start at Ridgeway Road and end at Schooley Road. Pedestrians will have access to the north side of the street with vehicles occupying the south side of Erie Road.

This is a pilot project with the purpose to create a Summer Beach Crawl atmosphere, on weekends, with enough space for safe pedestrian movement while allowing businesses to expand their patio dining this summer.

The road closure would begin on Fridays at approximately 5:00 p.m. and would end on Mondays at 7:00 a.m. of the proposed weekend dates.
