Description

* The Incident: On Saturday night, a reckless motorcyclist bypassed barriers into a pedestrian festival zone. A bystander attempted to stop the driver by throwing a trash can, causing the bike to crash violently into a pop-up dining tent, sending chairs flying and patrons scrambling. * The Fallout: The driver suffered minor injuries and faces multiple police summonses. While disaster was narrowly avoided, the video went viral and sparked safety alarms across the city. * The Insider Perspective: We speak with Francois Karam, owner/manager of Opa Restaurant [https://www.opaprovidence.org/about-us] on Atwells Avenue. Karam has been a vocal opponent of the current "al fresco" street closure format, warning city officials for months that the setups pose major safety and economic risks to local businesses.
