We should be able to vote for what we consider the best from each party.

Hopefully this will move candidates more toward the middle, eliminating some of the divisiveness we have. I'd prefer to vote for the best candidates, not party.

yes every voter should have the right to vote for whom ever they feel is the best and for what ever prop that they agree with no matter what party supports it.

This allows everyone to vote for who they feel is the best candidate, despite their party affiliation.

I absolutely agree that we should have an open primary. It should not matter what party belong to. People vote across party lines all the time. Plus there would definetly be more voter turnout.

Ofcourse, regardless of what party you belong to , this should always be open, also curbs the cheaters.

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.
