As the sun shone down Monday, June 19, Sally Ting dragged several tables onto wooden platforms set up in the parking spots outside Butterhorn Bakery and Cafe in Frisco.
It was lunchtime and, between the brilliant blue skies and warm weather, customers had filled the small patio attached to the cafe. So the new outdoor patio space the town’s public works department had installed earlier that day was about to come in handy.
“I love it,” Ting said. “I can push another 10 tables out here.”
An employee at Butterhorn for the past 18 years, Ting purchased the business about a year ago. When the Town Council decided this year to once again move forward with its parklet program — where the town leases sections of the right of way as outdoor spaces for businesses — Ting said she couldn’t have been happier.
Parklets allow her restaurant to expand its outdoor seating while also catching the attention of passersby who notice other customers enjoying baked goods, brunch treats or mimosas outside, Ting said.
