I know what you’re thinking, gentle readers:
How can this possibly be legal?
It isn’t— but we all know enforcement of rules and regulations (such as those precluding the obstruction of our city’s sidewalks which is what appears to be happening here) are scatter-shot at best. I wonder how a mobility-impaired person is supposed to negotiate this? Anyone?

As taken today, September 29, 2013 one block away from the India Street Pier.
