I am concerned covid-19 outbreak will make school shut down again. My kids want to keep going to in-person classes.

Absolutely I'm worried they will shut everything down. How are we supposed to homeschool our kids when both parents work? My son loves school and really thrives- he will really suffer mentally and emotionally with another shut down.

Schools should not be closed down, kids are less affected by this, and I think teachers should stop indoctrinating kids also

Greg Moore

I am worried they will shut down the schools, I am not at all worried about COVID hurting my kids, or other kids. This virus is no longer novel, but rather seasonal/endemic, yet the scared policy-makers are treating it as though it is novel. We need to move on... no masks, no quarantine.

Greg Moore

The kids need socialization more than to be "protected" from COVID-19, something that represents essentially less than 0.05% risk to them even if infected.

I am not concerned. My kids are safe at school.

It may be wishful thinking but I hope not. Our children need to be in school. Last year is lost. It will not be made up. They can not afford to loose a second year.

Teresa Parsons

Because my teen is already enrolled in online school. We didn't want to be anywhere near the school this new year with all the craziness goin on. Our teen also wanted to do online school because he came home from school every day last year with a headache & extra tired from the masks.

Hopefully more parents will embrace home school for their children.

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.

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.
