This is a pretty frustrating article bc the one in the Independent tells a rather different story— that outdoor dining permits are seasonal and that the spots can return in April. The problem seems to be why fine/press for removal so close to the spring return:

A parking spot costs someone feeding a meter $18 per day. If the city gains tax revenues from the restaurant, presumably it'd be more than that? Free parking Sundays. Maybe their outdoor dining could be on wheels for Sunday deployment?

Also, College St is delightful with the flexible bollards blocking one lane (and dozens of meters), causing major traffic headaches. Will they be removing these obstacles?

How ridiculous; free or cheap street parking takes up so much room in this city when there are far more spaces than would ever be needed in garages and surface lots. We desperately need safer streets for everyone, and outdoor dining is a key part to opening the street to everyone as a community instead of hunks of metal taking up valuable space. The spaces around the aforementioned restaurants should be pedestrianized anyway for the city to move forward and improve safety for everyone.

Aldi in Hamden was $2.44 a few days ago.

Costco in Waterbury didnt have the 2 dozen eggs packs yesterday - only the expensive brown organic ones or the 7.5 dozen packs. They were cheap per egg, but I didn't need 90 eggs. ;)

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/new-haven/new-haven-restaurants-facing-fines-for-outdoor-dining/
