If you've tried to push a stroller down a crowded sidewalk or navigate around endless cafe tables, you know the problem: our sidewalks are shrinking. The city is about to make it worse by potentially reducing pedestrian space by up to 30% on already congested corridors. I started a petition asking the city to actually enforce the current regulations that protect our shared walkways. While we are very supportive of sidewalk cafes in their current footprint, they should not be given more space meant for everyone—commuters, parents, elderly people, anyone with a wheelchair or stroller. This isn't about being anti-dining. It's about having enough room to actually walk. The city council and mayor need to hear that public space matters. If you think this is ridiculous too, consider signing and sharing the petition. Anyone else getting frustrated trying to just get down the street? submitted by /u/Fit_Rub_7444 [link] [comments]
