So what about the proposed extended outdoor seating on the Ped Mall in front of (and at the behest of) The Saloon? This is on the College St. section of the Mall, just east of Clinton St. The seating would be on top of the large limestone planter in front of The Saloon and Donnelly’s Pub. It’s in the public right-of-way. Do you think it would set a precedent – will it open up the Ped Mall to private concerns? Is this is OK or not a good idea? How would you want your City Council to react to such a proposal? Is it an issue at all? I’m really curious as to what people think on this one. Thanks!
