The 200-foot-long WoW has been in operation for the past 18 months on a trial basis and was set to end on June 30. It aimed to facilitate and promote outdoor dining through the use of “parklets.” Despite its mission, only three out of seven potential eateries – Mulberry Street, Fullerton Brew, and SomiSomi – opted to participate, with Mulberry Street being the sole establishment to commit to the concept fully. The short-term nature of the pilot program may have dissuaded the others from making the necessary financial investment.
