If we all stay locked up our immune systems will plummet. I believe we should always take precaution but also not live in fear.

If you don’t want to get infected, stay away from the parks. If you don’t care or don’t think it’s a problem go right ahead and enjoy those parks. It’s not the government’s job to close the parks

Getting outside is important for people’s mental and physical well being as well as immunity boosting. Terrible idea to close trails,etc. where it is very easy to keep a safe distance from others!

It seems like parks, hiking, and camping is the very definition of social distancing. Getting outdoors is the best thing we can do for ourselves right now

Outside, fresh air, easy to keep social distance sounds like a good way not to go stir crazy.

I live in NWX and at Discovery Park, people mainly do their walks or walk dogs and maintain social distance or sit on the lawn and sun away from others. I've seen no social gathering, so it's good.

It's ridiculous. You don't go to a park to rub shoulders with others, you go to get out and get some fresh air. This whole thing is becoming an exercise in finding out how much control they can have.

I’m assuming that social distancing would be respected, so how better to get out of the house and use up some energy. Must have social distancing though. Move aside on a trail, etc.

Keep your distance. Its outdoors. Healthy... nothing better than getting fresh air and excercise.

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.
