> In a PBOT survey published in January, 90% of businesses said Street Seats were good for their business and 80% of survey respondents said the program has a positive impact on street vitality.
> 
> The Portland Business Alliance (PBA), on the other hand, opposes the program. TheDowntown Retail Council (DRC) — a PBA affiliate group who says they're "the voice for downtown Portland’s consumer business" — successfully stopped the City from accepting applications for new Street Seats in the area between W Burnside St., SW Harrison St., SW 10th Ave. and SW 2nd Ave.
