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.

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.

ReplyAs an all knowing child I was so happy that I did not have to learn a 2nd language-Have been forever sorry that I missed the opportunity of a lifetime to expand my horizons throughout my life.
ReplyLearning a second language early in life helps form the brain for later better learning. I think the US should encourage a second language starting in 1st grade.
ReplyI believe the younger you are the easier it is to learn a different language and on the West Coast we should learn Spanish
ReplyJr High and High School is too late...may as well not have it at all if not in Grade School.
ReplyYes this is the time and it is so easy for them to learn another language
Reply"Required?" I'm not so sure, But if the parents want them too, the younger the better. Children brought up in bi-lingual households easily pick up both languages. It informs the brain. No downside.
ReplySign language at the least should be offered in all public schools.
