Greater Kennedy Plaza has got some new cafe tables and chairs set up in the area around the Soldiers and Sailors Monument across from City Hall. There’s also a vendor selling hot dogs and such.
Also, I didn’t take a picture, because they were mostly done, but there was a crew removing the bollards and chains from outside City Hall:
Hopefully this is a permanent condition. I’ve noticed over recent weeks that the Haven Bros. peeps have been setting up tables and chairs outside city hall, which is a welcome development for street life in the Plaza.
I never understood the purpose of the chains that block those sections off in front of City Hall. I’d like to see them put the big doors back in use. Why do we have to go to the sides of the building? Why not allow people to walk in the big old doors at the front of the building?
Yeah, that’s an efficient use of space.
