Frankfort, IL – Kansas Street is set to undergo a significant transformation as it closes to vehicular traffic starting today, May 23. The closure, spanning from Ash Street to Oak Street, will remain in effect until October 24, 2024, to create a vibrant dining destination for residents and visitors.
According to the Village of Frankfort, the initiative aims to enhance the local dining experience by offering an outdoor setting for patrons. The project is part of the #FrankfortEats campaign, designed to support local businesses and provide a unique culinary experience in the heart of downtown Frankfort. During this period, Kansas Street will accommodate one-way traffic, and 30-minute parking will be available on Ash Street to facilitate convenient access for diners.
The village encourages the community to take advantage of the new dining setup, which promises to add a festive atmosphere to the area. The initiative not only supports local restaurants but also promotes community engagement and outdoor activities. Residents can look forward to a variety of dining options and events that will be hosted in the newly transformed space.
