No sitting on the sidewalk, please

A new sign has appeared right in front of Peet’s Coffee.

It refers to this city law, which states: “No person shall sit or lie down upon a public sidewalk, or upon a blanket, chair, stool, or any other object placed upon a public sidewalk, during the hours between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.” Don’t worry, exceptions include waiting for the bus and medical emergencies.
