Let the restaurants continue outdoor dining if they want. Why would anyone say no.
They take away parking. They take away sidewalk access. They inhibit handicapped access. They have lots of health code issues (mostly vermin and bird poop related) While some are cute most are shanty looking. They expose patrons to being injured in traffic. That’s why many would say “no.”
Exactly. If/when it doesn’t make sense for them to continue the outdoor service, they will suspend it for the season.
