Hot Sushi on the Sidewalk

My morning commute revealed workers outside Asia Los Feliz constructing what appears to be an outdoor patio space for Atwater Village's quarter-old restaurant.

Where I come from, a new patio is a good sign. It means at the very least the restaurant is doing OK with cash flow. And maybe that it needs more (relatively cheap) space.

But that's a busy intersection at Los Feliz and Glenfeliz, and I don't see much more than sidewalk width between the traffic and where the new patio will be.

Waiter, two samurai rolls. Hold the tailpipe.
