L.A. County suspends outdoor dining at restaurants as coronavirus surges

"...Officials have urged residents to stay home as much as possible for the next two to three weeks to curb the rising tide of infections and avoid overwhelming the healthcare system. "

But I suppose Lakewood Council has a better knowledge base than Los Angles and their Health Department. Oh wait we watched Lakewood City Council completely ignore their hired professional who warned Lakewood City Council about how bad it is going to get.

At the same time as I drive around I see more outdoor patios, closed off, basically becoming indoor dining. And then there is the igloo war, where you take a group of 4 -10 and put them in a little plastic dome. Drive by sometime and you can see the breath forming little rivers on the walls.

Kind of blows my mind that something so simple seems so hard to understand. IF the virus cannot spread, it dies off in 2-4 weeks.

GET IT?

Be smart, be safe this holiday season.

never hold California up as an example to do something. Even if you agree with it.

Condensation on the walls of a bar igloo, show the level of droplets inside one of them.

OK, here is one everyone can help on especially Three Arches!

A restaurant pays 25%-35% to Grubb Hubb, Uber, and other delivery services.

Instead of giving up the sidewalks, what if they helped to underwrite delivery charges OR set up a delivery service?

Free delivery would immediately put 30% an order back into the the owner's pocket. They in turn could improve their to go service, employing their staff.

This puts more money directly into the pockets that need it. On the back end, getting discount delivery in Lakewood is not a bad brand builder.

OR FREE DELIVERY!

Imagine that, lakefront, walkable, bikeable, workable, greta place to raise a family, and OH YEAH, food delivery is FREE!

Come on City Hall get it together.

ALSO

Stop planting trees on Detroit and Madison. Put the money into sidewalk sweeping devices. Then just drive them up and down Detroit and Madison keeping the walks clear. Funky ass cafes, nasty trees, or clean safe sidewalks year round.

Cheapest idea is the best, sidewalk sweepers.

Sidewalk plowing too.
