Footpaths infested with shops

The entire pavement on the New Eskaton Road is occupied illegally by shops, vendors and makeshift eateries. Many school children need to use the footpath on a daily basis with their parents, but there isn't an inch of space to walk on. Some areas are even taken up by car and motorcycle repair shops. 

I earnestly request the city mayor, who has done a great job freeing up footpaths in other parts of the city, to focus on the New Eskaton area.
