At that spot, what they need to do is move the bike racks about 15 feet to the north away from the Cafe Crepe railing and away from the congested corner. There would be enough sidewalk width if the patio and the bike racks were not fighting for space.
It doesn't help that musicians seem to like that spot next to the Cafe Crepe railing to play at night (attracting a standing crowd that spills onto the roadway).

Some businesses would complain - esp. high end restaurants with valet service.
The former Shore Club, now Keg, eats up 1 of 2 Dunsmuir lanes with its valet service (which I think may still be a no stopping zone).
