It would limit residence and spur of the moment use. One of the perks of living here is the easy access to trails, lakes, etc. Maybe require limits only on weekends or major holidays.

Because locals deserve first chance at access. Give locals a week to apply first then open it up to outsiders.

The tourist and new comers seem to be the ones trashing the place. The trails were not like this during the first few years I lived here (12 - 15/16).

Of course CO residents should be exempt. I didn't move here 42 years ago to be told I have to stand in line to hike on a trail in my backyard!

Make it a percentage CO residents and percentage tourists.

Whether running tourists or livestock, every piece of real estate has a carrying capacity. There is an upper limit in the matter of the number of head one can put out on the range.

Everyone should be held to the same standard. We all have a responsibility to limit our impact on the environment.

Just because someone lives here doesn't mean they are less destructive.

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.
