While I use them, they are poorly designed. We wouldn't be having this discussion if they had been done better in the first place. No one goes the speed limit and unfortunately its not enforced much

The biggest problem is that when people enter the parkway they do not speed up[ causing a dangerous situation.

Should have been done years ago for safety.

2 many design flaws but, the short off/on accesses on the parkway does move an amount of traffic that's beneficial. If not, they'd be directed back to 3rd st and you know what that's like now-a-days!

Access to certain areas is hard enough w/o closing the few accesses there are.

If people actually drove the speed limit 45mph, it wouldn't be so hazardous. The speed limit needs to be enforced on the parkway.

The entry on to the Parkway need to be improved... That is where the larger problem lies, especially from the safety perspective

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??

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

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.
