City Hall sees reason -- ´tis the Season

It seems City Hall has reversed its "no tables in the (pedestrian) streets" policy. As of Friday evening, bar/restaurant operators along Pedro Ascensio and Agustín Ramirez lanes were advised by City Hall inspectors that tables, chairs and sandwich boards would once again be allowed out "during the high season." In addition, inspectors announced that motorscooters would no longer be allowed use of these pedestrian-friendly walkways. (Even parked motorcycles in that zone had their plates removed Friday evening by inspectors.) Will those bar operators who earlier paid "tips" for "special permits," bypassing the inital ban, receive their cash back? Or will City Hall play Scrooge?
