We need a more efficient and cleaner way to store electricity than lithium.

Mainly, an assurance that charging stations were ubiquitous, but also that the HP would be as zippy as what you would want.

The cost of mining the lithium for the electric vehicles batteries more than outweighs the “effectiveness” of the electric vehicle! The mining process itself voids any savings of electric vs internal combustion vehicles!

Id need a boatload of money, a free house with a charging unit and the government off our backs and out of our pockets.

I would NOT take an electric vehicle if you gave it to me, seriously! Electric is fine for power tools, but not a car or truck. I am against all this nonsense!

First off, I don't really need a new vehicle. Other than that, more charging stations.

Unless someone gave me the money to buy one, maintain it, build a garage and a charging station for it.

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.
