The barriers for the Centro Restaurant sidewalk seating area cause the sidewalk passage to become dangerously narrow. Elderly and other handicapped pedestrians are forced to run a gauntlet of scooters, bicycles, baby strollers and other vehicles in a space barely wide enough to walk in a single direction, let alone two.

The outside seating is very important to Centro's business. Actually during the day ,the barrier next to the street is
a safety feature as it requires people to use the crosswalk. Since Centro is only serving dinner and the tables and chairs are put aside during the day, I do not see the concern here.
Please provide more details on the cause of the issue.

If the seating is only for dinner, there is even less justification for the barriers to be impeding the lion's share of the sidewalk passage. The chairs and tables are absolutely not "put aside" during the day. The barriers are there in the same place all day every day.
The placement of the barriers as they are is selfish, serves no legitimate business purpose, and creates a hazard all day every day for those of limited mobility who are forced to use that sidewalk to reach the post office. I would very much like to know the legal easement granted to the restaurant, and how it is that only a few inches remain for citizens to walk.

Have you stopped by during business hours and spoken to Chef Patti?
She has seemed to be a reasonable person and maybe she can have the barriers changed so that you can get by easier.
Did you hear from the City of Lowell?
