[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you OP! I commute along Conn Ave and have wondered about this for the past two years. Many of the pandemic streeteries have been adjusted or taken down entirely now that indoor dining is no longer a concern and traffic has returned. This is the only restaurant that using a lane of a major artery for its business - why? If it's such a great idea, [b]why not give a lane to the Politics & Prose cafe on the other side of the street? Or the dozens of other restaurants that have real estate up and down Conn Ave? [/b]Does Rosemary's Bistro pay rent for that space? Does the restaurant even get enough patronage for this extra space?

And why would anyone think it's a smart idea to stick a street shed in the middle of a major intersection that also happens to have a lot of kids and families walking to/from area schools? It's bizarre and dangerous.

These are the questions that go through my mind every day when I see near accidents and sit in unnecessary gridlock as cars try to merge around this stupidity.[/quote]

Great idea. If we're going to turn over public space to private property, restaurants are a much better use than cars.[/quote]
