I love malicious compliance with car-centric rules 😎
If they’re willing to risk, along with the customers, to have folks get off that flat bed after some alcohol consumption, go for it. Keep the sidewalk for foot traffic, neighborhood kids playing and older folks to get around without obstacles.
This is a humble neighborhood with working class folks, in a typically hot and humid environment with limited or zero AC, and they probably have small apartments so you need these comfortable options to chill and enjoy time with friends and family after busting your ass working all month. I see this as a win for everyone.
Bro has not seen a Brazilian sidewalk, there are light posts in the middle of it, and the owners of the buildings are responsible for maintaining it, so every 10 meters there is a giant step and some rough terrain. Brazil has horrible urban planning and walkability, the city hall decision just sounds like carbrain to me. "The sidewalk is small so we will push people indoors" Why is the sidewalk small in the first place?
I haven’t been to all of Brasil and you’re right, sidewalks come in all shapes and sides. Or non existent. My theory on why sidewalks are small in some cities is that local governments make the streets too wide for trucks to pass.
