We elected them to do their jobs. If they are not doing their jobs, why should they be allowed to run for future office?? Who would want someone in office who doesn't work for the people who elected them??

It's their job. If you don't show up to your job do you still have a job? I can almost guarantee you won't unless you're a politician.

It's called accountability and responsibility. They are PAID to do a job, and though most SUCK at their job, the least they can do is show up!

If they are elected by the people that is our fault if we vote for them again maybe there needs to be easier access to what they actually do when they work ad what they have done.

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.
