There aren't enough law enforcement officers to police the dysfunction & endangerment of people running lights, & blocking the intersection

Anything that will help slow down the insane amount of speeding on the Parkway is a good thing.

Only if they are mobile so you can use them in problem area's until problem is solved not as permanent like above a stop light that is just Policing for Profit.

Speed is clearly a problem on the parkway and much of 97. I can't see how enforcing laws that protect public safety is too much government control.

Yes, put them up. The visitors and residents from the South and the North all think that they are a big fish in a small pond and drive like they do back where they came from. They drive like it is a video game and endanger everyone on the roads.

Sloppy driving, speeding and lack of traffic police to deture these actions to prevent accidents and possible injuries to those doing the right thing. It costs everyone in higher insurance rates in areas with more accidents.

We lived in Tucson, AZ. where they had these camera's & shortly taken out of service because the person driving the vehicle couldn't be without a doubt 100% identified. The plate # could be seen, but not the driver/owner. Cost Pima County residents millions of dollars. Waste of $. Fix the pot holes.

Absolutely NOT! That is like a privacy infringement, government over reach at best. Spying on citizens, imagine what that could start! So I say NO, NO and by the way(blank) NO!

It's not more "control" to enforce laws that already exist to protect public safety.

Well if people would drive at a safe speed, they wouldn't have to treat everyone like idiots.

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.
