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.

ReplyIs there a both button?
ReplyBoth really, but not for personal reasons. Rs want to pin inflation on Ds when the whole world in experiencing inflation. Higher gas prices are NOT the fault of any administration. The POTUS does NOT control that. OPEC does, and they are cutting production to increase prices for their shareholders.
Replythey go hand in hand and thanks to the Horrible Dens we have both. Hurting oil production in the U S but begging for oil from other countries is insane!!! We have got to vote the terrible Dems out of office, they are killing america and blaming every one else Pathetic and evil!
