HI. Yes, the space gets very tight! Our busiest Saturday so far this summer saw 20,000 people on Church Street, which has been heartening but also means more crowding during the summer months. Rules: City ordinance requires a 9-foot right of way be maintained in front of all businesses facing Church St. Ordinance permits us to make reasonable exceptions to adjust to fluidity of our busy street. We also work to maintain a 12 foot right of way down the center of the street (for emergency vehicles)-- think six feet on either side of the center line that runs down Church Street. Please feel free to send pictures or a detailed description of what you are seeing/experiencing when something doesn't look or feel right. It helps us with communication and enforcement. Very best, Ron.

Thanks! The clarification definitely helps.
