[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should not remove outdoor spaces that are free for people to use. It's nice to be able to grab something small at a local take out salad/sandwich place or an icecream shop and sit and people watch without having to pay $$$ to have a restaurant meal, a hefty tip, and be pressured to buy more food/drinks you don't need. I like the European model where you don't have to spend a lot to sit and enjoy public outdoor places. Anyone who doesn't like it is welcome to go to Tysons :lol: Plenty of parking and no blocked lanes [/quote] I agree with this. I like what has been done at Franklin Square and Eastern Market with public tables and chairs in and near parks so people can get food at local businesses (including low cost options) and then enjoy the public space. I think ceding sidewalks and streets to privately owned restaurants is an irresponsible use of a public good. [/quote]
