Mission makes it easier to sell and drink alcohol at downtown events

The city of Mission hopes to start allowing the public sale and consumption of alcohol during certain events in the city’s downtown area along Johnson Drive as soon as next year. The Mission City Council earlier this month unanimously approved plans to establish a common consumption area in which the rules for the sale and consumption of alcohol will be loosened during events like the city’s summer farmers’ market. The new common consumption area is generally bounded by Lamar Avenue on the west, Roeland Drive on the east, one block north of Johnson Drive on the north, and Martway Street on the south.
