HAMZA, you need to quit accusing people of being unjustified with reactions to your sidewalk obstructions and, instead, concern yourself with what is appropriate and decent neighborhood behavior. And – most of all – concern yourself with what is legal and illegal. In DuPage County’s Darien, Illinois, a restaurant generally cannot use a public sidewalk as an outdoor dining area in a way that obstructs pedestrian passage. Whether the restaurant is allowed to place tables, chairs, and flower pots on the sidewalk depends on the city's rules, any permit the restaurant has, and whether sufficient clear walking space remains. The important distinction is that permission to offer outdoor dining does not automatically mean permission to block a public sidewalk as your flower pots and other items do. Flower pots used to separate a patio from pedestrians can also create an obstruction if they leave too little room for people to pass safely, including wheelchair users, people using walkers, and parents with strollers. Obviously yours have totally blocked off your end of the sidewalk as if the outdoor dining area is an extension of your dining area rather than the passageway/sidewalk it is. What Darien's rules say are the city's published ordinances provide several relevant points regarding your illegal sidewalk obstructions. Darien's Street and Right of Way Ordinance restricts obstructions in the parkway without a city permit. There are specificaations that public sidewalks must be at least four feet wide in residential districts and five feet wide in other districts. Your flower pots have left NO room. The only option of walking north-south in front of your restaurant has been to climb over your flower pots or walk around vehicles parked in front, making a person walk through the parking lot. THIS IS WRONG and it’s on you, HAMZA! Obstructing vegetation: The city's code-enforcement guidance expressly identifies vegetation obstructing a sidewalk as a potential property-maintenance violation. Therefore, again, HAMZA, you need to quit accusing people of being unjustified with how they react to and inform you of your sidewalk obstructions and only concern yourself with what is appropriate and decent neighborhood behavior and – most of all – with what is legal.
