How was a city clogged with cars and buses, where the sidewalks are too narrow for people to carry unfurled umbrellas, going to suddenly accommodate thousands of tables and chairs in its preciously limited outdoor space?<\/p>\n<p>Very successfully, it turned out. By cutting off some streets to car traffic and capitalizing on more limited late-night and weekend bus routes, the city was able to secure more outside dining space for more than 10,300 restaurants through its (now permanent)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/html\/dot\/html\/pedestrians\/openrestaurants.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open Restaurants<\/a>\u00a0program. That move outdoors signals how restaurants in other high-density, space-limited cities might be able to modify their dining spaces to prevent disease transmission, says Alexa Weintraub, a junior majoring in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/spatial.usc.edu\/undergraduate\/\">geodesign<\/a>\u00a0at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there&#8217;s a lot of potential for restaurants to continue expanding and coming up with innovative ideas for outdoor dining in the future,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<h2>A top ten project<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 220px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/AlexaWeintraub_SSI__InStoryA-3446.jpg\" alt=\"Alexa Weintraub smiles at camera.

Through these programs, several neighboring eating establishments apply as a group to have a whole street closed to vehicle traffic, freeing up additional street space for tables and chairs. Weintraub\u2019s map, \u201cEating on the Streets: A New Pandemic Lifestyle,\u201d analyzed restaurant and transportation data to display other potential locations for Open Streets restaurants throughout New York\u2019s five boroughs.<\/p>\n<p>Weintraub\u2019s work also landed her a spot as one of 10 finalists in the student category of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/contest\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2020 ArcGIS StoryMaps Competition for Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>\u00a0(SDGs), sponsored by GIS technology company Esri and the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlexa\u2019s project was very current and practical. People are thinking about making dining on the street a permanent solution even after the pandemic is over, but nobody has looked in depth at how are we going to do it, and where,\u201d said Leilei Duan, a lecturer with the Spatial Sciences Institute who teaches the SSCI 402 course.<\/p>\n<h2>Sustainable design<\/h2>\n<p>Duan\u2019s course focused closely on the UN\u2019s 17 SDGs, which range from eliminating poverty to ocean conservation. Weintraub\u2019s map was tied to SDG 8, which calls for decent work and economic growth, important considerations in New York, where restaurants are a major source of both income and employment. Although her project addressed one industry in one city, it has broader lessons for sustainability and city planning, Duan says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe framework and methodology Alexa used can be used in L.A., as well,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd she\u2019s not just thinking about how we\u2019re going to help small businesses get back on track, but beyond this, to the question, \u2018Once we get out of COVID, how will we change our previous habits?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Changing habits doesn\u2019t have to be unpleasant, Weintraub says. Open dining is not only good for restaurants and tax coffers; it provides diners with a different way of interacting with their town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing able to sit outside, you can be more intertwined into the city while also dining at anywhere from a five-star restaurant to a quick place to grab a bite to eat,\u201d Weintraub says.<\/p>\n<p>New York made its Open Restaurants program permanent. Whether L.A. decides to follow suit\u00a0with its equally rich and geographically more complex restaurant scene\u00a0remains to be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n  \n        \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--article-related-stories \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--article-related-stories\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n    \n                  <article>\n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--cta-title\">\n\n    \n  <h3>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/los-angeles-geospatial-summit-2019\/\" \n                        class=\"\" \n      >Geospatial information exerts a growing global influence<\/a>\n      <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/article>\n              <article>\n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--cta-title\">\n\n    \n  <h3>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/coronavirus-covid-19-stay-prepared-with-collective-memory\/\" \n                        class=\"\" \n      >As collective memory fades, so will our ability to prepare for the next pandemic<\/a>\n      <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/article>\n              <article>\n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--cta-title\">\n\n    \n  <h3>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/geographic-information-science-student-fights-a-disease-affecting-millions\/\" \n                        class=\"\" \n      >Geographic information science student fights a disease affecting millions<\/a>\n      <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/article>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Undergraduate Alexa Weintraub showed how street and sidewalk space could be repurposed to allow for more outdoor seating, without affecting public transportation. <strong>[3&nbsp;min&nbsp;read]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52,"featured_media":1803,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,17],"tags":[62,474,61,131,214],"class_list":["post-1800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-social-impact","category-student","tag-covid-19","tag-geodesign","tag-pandemic","tag-spatial-sciences","tag-undergraduate-spotlight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Spatial sciences student maps New York City\u2019s successful move to outdoor dining<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Undergraduate Alexa Weintraub showed how street and sidewalk space could be repurposed to allow for more outdoor seating, without affecting public transportation.
