Tourism is one of our largest economic engines and our sidewalks are very crowded during the tourism season. We should be encouraging walking as much as possible for many reasons (environmental, economic and social), not impeding it with narrowing the usable walkway. This is different from providing more temporary outdoor restaurant seating generating economic activity especially during a pandemic. 395 can build a few indoor steps from their entry doors instead of outdoor steps on the public sidewalk.
