Shops at Waterloo Town Square

The simple solution, which I think you are hinting at, is to remove those three parking spaces where patio space is being planned. That is, it would be simple if it were simple to eliminate on-street parking.

Given how much parking there is nearby it shouldn't be difficult. But this is Waterloo ..

Both very good points, although I'd point out that even just "removing" the parking is easier said than done.  The level of the ground is wrong, and poles are in the wrong place.

I realize additionally looking at that photo, the road is stupidly overbuilt, there is a huge turn lane and I've never ever seen a line of traffic there.  What a waste of money!
