Treatment Centers should have beds available any time someone asks for one!! This could be a good in between phase if they help get the people into treatment!

I'm for it, especially since it won't cost me more in homeowner taxes. Funds coming from grants and "community partners" is a good way to fund it vs. taxing homeowners more. It's a win-win.

There needs to be more emphasis on treatment against punishment for drug offenders and it's wrong to treat the mentally ill like typical, bad criminals.

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.
