A concerned citizen files a 311 complaint just in time for all the snow we could get over the next week:
If abutters are required to clear the sidewalk in front of their property, can they then have a space saver like car owners are allowed in the street? I’ll put up a nice planter and cafe table, or a bike rack for me and my neighbors! Either the sidewalk is a public way that needs to be maintained by the city or its private property that’s maintained by the property owner. The City doesn’t get to have it both ways :)

”If I clear the snow off a park bench, only I can sit there even if I am not currently using it. And if I come back to the bench and someone is there I will commit assault and destruction of property”
When you extend the parking space saver “system” to other public spaces that people pay $0 for you realize how entitled, dumb and psychotic it is. Drivers are unique in their awfulness. Pedestrians, subway riders, cyclists etc actually know how to act like decent people even when there is a few inches of snow on the ground.
space savers?

If it's like space savers, the person complaining should only be able to put out that table or planter after shoveling the snow, and be required to remove it a few days later. It seems a little hard on the flowers, though.
All space savers should be illegal.

End of story.
If they serve hot coffee to passers-by...
