Int 1421-2025 would let restaurants and grocery stores run sidewalk and roadway cafes in curb or parking lanes year‑round. It speeds reviews, sets $1,050 fees and four‑year terms, and pushes dining closer to moving traffic — raising risks for pedestrians and cyclists.

Year‑round expansion of roadway/sidewalk cafes can calm traffic and create buffers that benefit pedestrians, but also risks obstructing sidewalks, complicating winter operations, and creating conflicts near bike lanes. Net safety effects for vulnerable users hinge on strict clear-path, loading, and bike-lane protection rules and enforcement.

👎 Negative
2025-10-09 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↓ hurts grade
Expanding sidewalk and roadway cafes citywide and year-round, including winter, increases private use of sidewalks and curb lanes, narrowing pedestrian space and complicating cycling with service crossings and snow/garbage obstructions. While it may displace some parking, the net effect likely elevates conflict and accessibility risks for vulnerable users.
