This isn't how you shut down a sidewalk. You're supposed to have signage at the nearest crosswalk alerting people that it's closed ahead so they can cross appropriately or provide safe, protected passage in the street.

Or if it's a dense city with a lot of pedestrian traffic, use raised scaffolding when nothing is going on at ground level to let pedestrians pass underneath.

It's more expensive, and introduces liability, so nobody does it in cities where it isn't enforced.
