I believe while the pandemic is going on we should abide by the safety guidelines and follow the rules the Governor has put out.

Churches are allowed the same percentage of participants as malls are customers. If you can't practice or live your religion without the gathering in a church, perhaps you should take another look at whether or not you really have faith.

Richard Dillard

In this country we are way to free for our own good. Saving a live should come before anything else.

Donna Reed

They are both gathering places.

We need to protect our churches from health policies that discriminate our faith.

Freedom of religion guaranteed by the Constitution. If Walmart can be open so can churches and schools.

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

Gary Dehm

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.

Pat Glandon

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Ka San

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Jay B Lane

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.
