Smoke is unhealthy and unattractive. Should find alternate use for the dead trees and vegetation - hog fuel, chips, burn in controlled atmosphere to create steam for electricity generation.

We live in the high desert, a dry environment prone to fires. With what has happened in CA, I am for any effort to thwart such a disaster as happened in Paradise, CA.

Prescribed burning has been going on for more years than I’ve been alive, it helps clean up the excess debris and undergrowth that fuels big wildfires.

The smoke from the Mega fires is much more intrusive and unhealthy for communities. Prescribed burns are conducted when air streams carry smoke away for the most part. 10x more smoke with uncontroll

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.
