Lawmakers Consider New Smoking Restrictions on Bar Patios

Restrictions Considered for Bar Patios

ROCKFORD (WIFR) If youre a smoker, your outdoor experience may be changing if some lawmakers get their way.

The Illinois Department of Public Help is trying to rewrite the rules for what can be allowed on bar patios, beer gardens, decks, rooftops, or concession areas. Smokers will still be able to light up in those spots, but if the rules are changed, smokers will have to serve themselves. Servers and other employees wont be legally allowed to serve customers smoking in these areas. Some local bar owners fear the proposed changes would affect business and alienate a large portion of their customer base.

"Now you're going to have a lot of people that spent a lot of money to put in patios for smokers to go out there and smoke, as well as for other people to go out and enjoy the area, I think it'll have an impact on business. It'll hurt," said Pete Gwizdala with the Illinois Licensed Beverage Association.

The Department of Public Health says the rules are meant to follow the original intent of the Smoke-Free Illinois Act, although some local politicians who voted for the act, say these new rules go too far.

The rule changes are waiting on a vote downstate in the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. Theyre a bipartisan group made up of equal amount democratic and republican state senators and representatives.

Todays lesson is this: Sometimes more space is not better space.

James Kuan knows it well. Before moving to the midcentury perfect Lamplighter condo tower in Seattle, Kuan lived nearby, loitering there until a spot in the Lamplighter (with its sparkling swimming pool and garden patios) became available: Theres still one person here with no cellphone, so thats why we still have the buzz box.

Patience rewarded, Kuan snagged a 1,000-square-foot unit before it even hit the market. Didnt much matter about the shag carpeting, sea-foam-green walls and shuttered closet doors. Kuan was in.

Theres not a lot of midcentury on Capitol Hill, Kuan says. A friend of mine said, What are you buying? I said, Dont worry, its got good bones. I took enough art in high school to know that it had harmony in the spaces.

Upon moving in, Kuan, now a doctor who knows about bones, did a quick five-day refresh: tearing out the floor for Marmoleum, painting the place white.

The home improvements, however, did not make it a home improved.

I just always remembered what Eames said, that furniture shouldnt be in the way; there should be traffic flow.

And Kuan wanted to go with that, the flow.

How Prentis describes it is its kind of like coming into a cave and then it opens up, Kuan says of his designer, Prentis Hale, of SHED Architecture and Design.

It certainly does, right up to the newly opened kitchen-dining-living area, 30-foot-wide deck and all that lies beyond, a Seattles-best view of the Space Needle, EMP, downtown and mountains beyond.
