3 Feet Is All You Need! (Life In The Walkable, Friendly City)


Chapter 266-7 of the City Code is titled Sidewalk Obstructions.  It begins, "The Common Council of the City of Hudson has determined that the obstruction of the public sidewalk is a nuisance and cannot be tolerated... the following regulations apply...[there must be] a minimum of 4 feet (sic) clear space on the sidewalk."
Yesterday, as on many other days and likely today, the hotel and cafe at 3rd & Warren was okay with offering all pedestrians almost exactly 3 feet of clear sidewalk.  If Code Enforcement doesn't care about the code, why would The Maker or any other businesses on Warren and elsewhere care either?  Why not just offer 2 feet of width?  How about none?
