Patios and street displays removed

Patios and street displays came down Monday morning as work began on sidewalk replacement on South Bayview. Top left, sparks fly as the old fencing at The Mad Italian comes down. Right, Lambert Moo and helper take down patio fencing at Chai on Bayview. Below, TMI’s dismantled patio. Next door, Sal and Chris at Badali’s remove those heavy wooden display benches to temporary storage. It’s a contentious thing for restaurants with patios as the cost of replacement is not settled.
