First Impressions
There is some interest in the cyclists and other basic elements, which the simplicity helps come into play more - the fire hydrant, the ONE WAY sign, the red 'Stop' hand and the PARKING signs.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
After reading your comments, I'm struggling to see a homeless man on the left. The composition is quite sound, although the perspective seems out by a fraction. This is an image that I think
may have been stronger in b&w. I like the leading path with the person walking down it. Sounds like you enjoyed the challenge of Street Photography and will explore this photographic style more in the future, which is another added benefit of entering different themed Challenges at DPC.
Perhaps simplifying this image even more by cropping out the left person seated would have allowed the main characters to feature more. Nothing to be done (beside waiting for other passer-bys) about the fire hydrant view blocked by the passing cyclist, but my eye instantly wanted to see that isolated at first, especially because of the color element.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
121/135 with a score of 4.53 seems like a fair score, but perhaps a hard placement, especially given you seem to have made an effort to shoot for this Challenge. That's always a little disappointing, but don't let that deter you from pushing your boundaries in the future.
Each of your commenters seems to offer some good subtle points and pointers. Hearing what people like in an image (when they mention it) allows you insight into how your viewers perceive your image and what their eyes are drawn to.
Summary
Some interesting elements captured in an everyday scene. Nothing is holding my interest strong enough for me to linger too long within the image. My favorite part is probably the feeling of depth captured (despite the focal length), which I think the large PARKING sign helps come into play.
