As this moves forward, keep in mind that no good deed goes unpunished; AND, that the city budget is proposing that maintenance on most city stairwell’s be cancelled.
So if this is a city-owned site – and I’m guessing it is – I would strongly suggest you gather together as neighbors and talk to city. Offer to “adopt” the stairwell, install an *authorized* bench and maintain the overgrowth, prune, weed and sweep the stairwell, etc. That ought to improve your chances with putting a privately held piece of furniture on a public space – get permission!
