With covid and the governor lowering standards for graduation, a standardized test is necessary . We need better educated students and graduates.

I don't know if standardized tests are hurting a certain group of students, but I do know that socially promoting certain students who fail to learn basic life requirements, like balancing checkbooks, reading, etc., is doing them a big disservice. Bringing back civics, PE, tool shop is a good idea.

I go back & forth on this subject. With the standard set so low for students due to the pandemic. It seems scary to have children behind in the basics. I’m from Ventura, Ca since the early 90’s. Things in Oregon back then seemed way behind in the school system.

Absolutley especially important since lockdowns...our children's education has suffered, and we need to get back reading, writing, arithmetic and foster critical thinking once again.

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

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.
