[quote=Anonymous]I like outdoor dining and don’t care about losing parking lanes. In a dense city with lots of public transportation, the idea that we need to preserve these single street parking spaces over other uses is absurd. The fact that 10 people can enjoy a sit down meal in a single parking space is a great representation of how wasteful parking is in a space-limited city. The city also makes more in taxes off those diners than it does of the parked car, while also supporting employment for several people. All that said, what really needs to happen is expanding sidewalks so that outdoor dining can be next to the restaurant and not out in the street. Streeteries are temporary structures built, literally, in the gutter. We should be expanding sidewalks into the parking lane and encouraging restaurants to create more permanent (and nicer looking) outdoor dining.[/quote]
