I think we should prioritize education and if that helps get our kids back in school we should do what's best.

Absolutely! Closing any place where people gather will obviously have a slowing effect on the virus.

Scott Taylor

The comment about prioritizing education and getting our kids back in school we should do what's best is not responsive to the question.The answer to the question is yes.The comment is irrelevant..

The spread of Covid-19 isn't due to bars or gyms being opened. This is going too far again.

Have we closed businesses in this Grand of scale due to the flu? Honestly, people/facilities that are in the high risk factor should be more secure. Most healthy people will be fine!

Survive the virus, no job, no income, business lost. We have guidelines use them

Heidi Owen

Hell no, it's a control thing.

Simple question: do you know anyone who is sick?

Amber Miller

The reason is cause I believe we can keep them open and do it safely while doing it by doing the 6 feet apart, wearing the masks and not have the media make such a big thing bout it.

Amber Miller

Thank u for the poll.

Amber Miller

Cause I believe it could slow the spread with them open, and be safe, and cautious with it like wearing our masks and do what we need to do and not have the media not make such a big thing of it.

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.

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.
