translated from Spanish: Jorge Sharp Unveils plan to eliminate terraces of Ecuador in Valparaiso rise

the Mayor of Valparaiso, Jorge Sharp, presented a plan of action par to remove the terraces of the Ecuador Street, the main Bohemian artery of the city, in order to reorder the sector. 
According to El Mercurio of Valparaiso, locals in the area are tables and chairs on the sidewalk from the street, greatly increasing its capacity. 
The decision by Sharp was already notified night tenants. The director of the Department of urban Inspectorate of the municipality of Valparaíso, Claudio Sepúlveda, said that “already is working (with the tenants), strictly, is not that a new Ordinance is rising out of the sector, but” the legislation that exists today does not allow that the furniture is there, so you have to take action”. 
“The terraces may not occupy a third of the front of the local, and should also be attached to the line’s construction. Also General urban planning and construction law prohibits installing any furniture to less than 50 cm from the solera. Then, today the norm is is failing”, said Sepulveda. 
According to the municipal Manager, the initiative is also a security measure, since this sector is an evacuation zone before an earthquake or tsunami. 
The measure also seeks to generate a new focus on the terraces with tables for smokers: “a new Ordinance of tables and chairs, should be generated (…)” “trying to do there one kind of foot tables, so people can go out to smoke and that that is the spirit, but the reel must be returned to the premises, as Ecuador rise is a place that coexists with the residence and there is much complaint”. 
However, night Valparaiso tenants association rejected the measure, claiming even though the subject was conversing with the municipality, pointing that you want to run without a table of work between the two agencies. 
“Never thought the measure would run without a previous work with tenants, while we agree that the issue of the terraces should be regulated, believe that this is a dictatorial measure by the Mayor’s office citizen”, said Víctor Ramírez , President of the Association of nocturnal tenants. 
“The municipality says that the sector must clean by a safety issue before a tsunami evacuation, but the same measures are not taken with peddling that nowadays all Bellavista sector took in total illegality (…).” Then, as an association, we do not understand why lashes out against the established trade and turn a blind eye becomes and benefiting illegal trade”, added Ramirez. 
This view is shared by the owner of the local water Moon and Lo Devi, Mirtha Vásquez, who believes that this measure will generate the illegal sale of drugs and alcohol. “Currently the tenants have controlled our terraces, but with the new measure that’s going to be no man’s land.”
