Yes. I find it annoying. In most cities, walkers wait until traffic clears to cross a street. I have seen a few near-accidents with people suddenly stopping for a cyclist in roundabouts. Really dumb.

I have had drivers stop for me when I was just near a crosswalk. I have to wave them on as I did not plan to cross the street.

I believe the vast majority of drivers stop for pedestrians.

I got hit by a truck crossing the road December 20th of 2018 and broke my foot. It was so scary.

Every intersection is a legal crossing drivers don't stop where a crosswalk isn't painted on. Pedestrians have right-of-way as soon as they step into the street, even in middle of block.

Crossing in middle of a block is Jaywalking and could get the crosser mounted on a front bumper.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
