• From WBNG 12 Action NewsITHACA, NY -- You may be able to dine outside in Downtown Ithaca during warmer months, but soon you might not be able to smoke outside.
"The city is considering the effects of second-hand smoke on the public, and so they're interested in providing a healthy safe place for people where they can come down to the commons and not have to have the second hand smoke," says Vicki Taylor with the Downtown Ithaca Alliance.
The city is looking to ban smoking in roughly half of Ithaca Commons and within 10 feet of outdoor dining areas.
This plan would result with an entire block of smoke free restaurants on Aurora Street, making customers leave the table and the street in order to light one up.
