(CDOT)

Back in May, the City of Chattanooga began working with restaurants and retail stores on how to boost their capacity safely during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Chattanooga Department of Transportation - or CDOT - started a pilot program called “SPROUTS” - “Streets as Places:  Reimagining the Outdoors.”

Earlier this month, I spoke with CDOT’s Cate Irvin about the program,  before the mask mandate was announced for Hamilton County.
