Regulations already established by the City of Pensacola's ordinance mandates that restaurants construct a physical barrier around outdoor seating areas that would prevent pedestrians passing by from coming into contact with any dogs on the premises. Most restaurants on Palafox Street have outside seating on the sidewalks in an open setting. There is no place for barricades on our sidewalks, and this requirement places an undue burden upon business owners. Dog owners avoiding the downtown area would have a negative impact, and result in loss of business. Please support a revision to abolish the barricade requirement. Let's continue to move Pensacola upward by retaining the dog friendly environment which boosts our local businesses.
