It will benefit neighborhoods. There would be more parking spots and the streets will be less congested.

Depends on the area. If it's a busy area and parking is a problem, absolutely. Not so in n'hood where it is not an issue.

People parking in neighborhoods are not showing any respect for residents.

I don't agree because we will need to pay for a permit. I think we should be able to park where we can without any restrictions.

If this city would stop putting businesses without enough parking in residential areas, we wouldn't have this issue. All homes/apts should be required to have off street parking areas.

Public streets are for the public. If you don't like it, move to a gated community and pay for your own streets.

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

Gary Dehm

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.

Pat Glandon

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??

Jay B Lane

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.
