I want the arcades to be wider. I think an arcade has more uses than open sidewalk. On top of protection from inclement weather, they're very pleasant to walk through or have a coffee under, if they're done right. Imagine sitting under an arcade during a nice summer rainstorm-verrrry nice. Arcades are very common in Mediterranean & South American countries and they usually take up most of the sidewalk.
Think... climate . We Canadians like to grab any sun we can get.
