The downtown Shawnee core is now a public common consumption area, which means drinking establishments can more easily host outdoor events and serve alcohol in patio settings. After a brief discussion, the Shawnee City Council on Monday unanimously approved the move creating a public common consumption area within the downtown core at Johnson Drive and Nieman Road. The area covers four square blocks bounded by King Street to the west, West 58th Street to the north, Bluejacket Avenue to the east, and West 59th Street to the south.
