This issue would seem to be a problem with several downtown establishments who appear to have creeped closer to the curb thus making more difficult for chair bound citizens. Send someone out Friday evening with a tape measure. No compliance, remove permit for sidewalk seating. Simple.

I've taken pictures. I contacted DPD via email today. See if they'll get on it. I used the "foot step" measurement strategy. 22" is the space.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the DPD at 978-446-7200

I'm curious if they get to include the curb in measuring. 22" shouldn't be enough for a large wheelchair. May have to look up ADA specs.

FWIW, the ? = " (inches). Not sure why it changed when I posted.
