Edmonton’s Rice Howard Way is poised to undergo a transformation, becoming an alcohol-licensed, pedestrian-friendly area every Saturday from June 1st. The city’s community and public services committee have proposed an amendment to the Entertainment District bylaw, allowing for alcohol consumption from licensed establishments within the district’s boundaries. The proposed district encompasses Rice Howard Way from 100th Street to 101st Street, including city-owned spaces. The entertainment district will be activated on Saturdays only, commencing on June 1st and continuing until the end of August. Rice Howard Way will be closed to vehicles from 7 a.m. on Saturdays until 10 a.m. on Sundays, while 100A Avenue and 100A Street will remain open for traffic.
