The street dining has bene a fucking nightmare below 14th st. Rats, lack of sightlines for bike riding and driving cars/trucks, tons of noise, people and tables and chairs constantly blocking the sidewalk with no escape to street, if say, you want to avoid a person or you need to avoid a dog when walking your dog, etc. etc. End this shit already. The restaurants don't even have the capacity to serve that many seats so service has suffered majorly too.
7th St between A and 1st has been a disaster - nothing more annoying than a bunch of drunk Chads and Beckys blocking the sidewalk!
