vicinity nor detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood.
The sidewalk's public use, pedestrian, transit and business services including but not limited
to loading zones, bus stops, public phones, and benches are not restricted. There are no
transit services that will be affected by the use. Building entryways are not obstructed and
handicapped accessibility is provided where required. Pedestrian traffic volumes are not
inhibited. A ten (10) foot clear passage area will be maintained free of obstruction.
