Niagara Falls City Council will discuss a couple of street closures today.

A lawyer representing a local parking lot owner says the Centre Street closure between Victoria Ave and Ellen Ave only benefits two restaurants.

Meanwhile 65 people have signed a petition calling for the reopening of Queen Street between Buckley Ave and Chrysler Ave.

It claims there is enough room for local restaurants to expand their patios on the sidewalk.

City Council will hold a virtual meeting at 1:00 p.m. this afternoon.
