        Tables and chairs provided pursuant to this Section may be used by the public without restriction. All furnishings shall

        secured between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., and may be stored or secured between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and

        they be permitted within any required circulation paths. For #arcades# with a depth of 10 feet or less, an unobstructed
        path of not less than three feet wide shall be provided, and for those with a depth greater than 10 feet, the width of such
        unobstructed path shall be increased to at least six feet. For the purpose of such calculation, the depth of an #arcade#
