Business owners urge Ventura to reopen Main St.

VENTURA, Calif. (KEYT) Business owners are pushing the Ventura City Council to reopen the closed protons of Main and California Streets.

For the second week in a row they took part in public comments.

They also held signs.

Business owners inside and near the closure on California and Main said it may have worked during COVID but it is now hurting business, especially Mondays through Fridays.

Multiple businesses have closed.

They are urging Ventura City Councilmembers to put the issue back on the agenda before more businesses close.
