Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

I don't go downtown due to parking nightmare and downtown is more than food which tends to be high end and not as affordable.

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.

I don’t support the idea of a community living within my community that doesn’t have to abide by the laws and litters carelessly. Along with supporting a community that isn’t contributing to ours in any positive manner, using up costly resources.

If I had any say in the matter at all, it would be.... If a person doesn't want to put any effort into improving there life, I don't want a single cent of this communities tax dollars going to help them. Its an absolute waste! Those people just wanna do drugs and avoid any of life's responsibilities
