Fuck these people. Sidewalks are for fucking walking, not for extra space for your stupid fucking restaurant.

In some places here in Sweden, restaurants with sidewalk tables have an extra "lane" for pedestrians installed in parallel over the side of the street, like a protected boardwalk

In my village in France they close the main street in the evening and weekend for restaurants and bars to put their table there.

I love it
