Who is 'you' in your statement? Are you referencing the outdoor patio that the owner extended? Or the redevelopment project next door.
Consider it this way, there is a small section of the Village that is very close to critical mass to where the businesses don't need a parking lot for their customers in order to make money. You, as someone who doesn't live in the Village, might not like having front door parking. But it also doesn't mean you're entitled to it either.
When I come back to visit, it is very likely I will eat at Share and have a couple at Moor Pat. Neither of these places have a single reserved parking space. But it doesn't matter. In places with critical mass parking doesn't matter.
