If climate change is proven to affect our food supply and quality of life, then it's butting in to our unalienable right to life, liberty, and property. So, in short, yes.

No brainer, to me. but then I've always been environmentally conscious.

If cigarette smoke is so deadly, then pollutants from everything else is probably more dangerous. Lets keep our whole environment CLEAN.

I suffer from lung ailments. our lives are at stake if we don't address climate issues. Prescribed burns and summer fires are harmful to all. There are ways to deal with them, decreasing their impact

I'm not sure it CAN be a "right;" however, climate change is very real and if we humans don't do something about it now, future generations will pay the price

Dave Voiles

The so called "science" is not settled. These are the same people whose weather models have proven to be wrong. Remember we went from global warming to climate change. Bill Nye the fake science guy.

Heidi Owen

idiots.

Sam Ackerman

The same people that are scared about "climate change" are helping create the problem. They are having kids. More people = more climate change.

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.

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.
