Résumé Omnilex

The court held that the sidewalk of Rue du Mont-Blanc, at its widest point, could be used for a restaurant terrace because the terrace would not be placed in the main pedestrian path. The decision therefore accepted the terrace arrangement under LRDBH 39 para. 4.

Regeste Omnilex

LRDBH 39 al. 4; suitability of a sidewalk for a restaurant terrace and preservation of pedestrian circulation; a terrace may be authorized where the available width of the public way is sufficient and the installation does not encroach upon the principal pedestrian axis. The decisive criterion is whether the terrace can be accommodated without impairing safe and practical passage of pedestrians; the authority must assess the concrete spatial configuration of the site, in particular the usable width at the relevant location and the resulting impact on circulation (consid. not indicated).
