ALRC votes to extend law limiting bars downtown, discusses changes that would loosen law

The city?s Alcohol License Review Committee voted Wednesday night to extend an ordinance aimed to limit the growth of new taverns in the student-heavy Downtown district and reverse an uptick in alcohol-related violent crime. The alcohol license density ordinance, passed by the City Council in 2007 and scheduled to sunset on March 5, was extended to July 5 and will be up for a final council vote at the March 1 meeting.
