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.

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.

Depends on the weather.
ReplyI think it's a safer way to eat for covid as long as weather permitting
ReplyWeather permitting, why not?
ReplyMy daughter loves being outside. She also expressed how her and her friends get excited about eating outside!
ReplyI grew up eating outside & increment weather then it was in the cafeteria or classrooms. This can be done & still be safe. I even had time for a little play after lunch. Let them enjoy the outdoors as long as they can!
ReplyThey can eat outside until it gets cold, then move them inside. We did this as kids in school, and we're still alive. 😁
ReplyAbsolutely they should eat outside- and if they would have listened it is “weather permitting” Kids don’t even get to go outside for recess when it’s 20 degrees
ReplyI see nothing wrong with it. Kids should be outside as much as possible for their health. They spend most of the time inside on their computers, and thats not healthy. People complain its too cold, so, the kids shouldn't have recess during winter?
