Yes, we should continue outdoor dining in the downtown area. Nashua should also be looking at
reducing the automobile traffic on Main St. Alternate routes, effective traffic control is where we
should be using tax payers money. Everybody can benefit. The downtown venue will change for the
better if we make it more accessibie and pretty it up. We should not do a compromise plan. That is
just a half way measure to hopefully satisfy some people. There is the potential to create a new
downtown. Go for it!

Dear Board of Aldermen:

| understand you will be deciding on whether to continue outdoor dining in downtown Nashua soon. | hope you will
continue it, even though it restricts traffic on Main Street. | don’t think restricting downtown traffic is a bad thing at any
time. | also enjoy eating outdoors in warm and pleasant weather. As | understand it, the outdoor dining also increases
revenue to the local restaurants and other downtown establishments, and to the city.

Sincerely,

Hi,

I am a supporter of downtown outdoor dining. My family typically heads out to eat on Friday nights and we
loved being able to eat outside and have all of the art around us.

The expanded downtown dining makes Nashua a destination for people... I have seen co-workers from
neighboring towns in downtown, that may have headed up to Manchester.

It is something special and unique that Nashua has to offer and I hope this continues.

There are alternatives to driving through downtown for traffic concerns and it is critical to continue to support
our local chef owned restaurants.

Thank you,

Lori Szydlik

BOA,

YES. YES. YES.. This was and is an excellent addition to the Nashua summer outdoor scene. And not just because of
Covid. It should have been done long before covid started. And any new zoning, building, rehab in the downtown area
should allow for increased sidewalk and green space. Think CVS on the Main / Hollis corner. A fortress with next to no
sidewalk space. incredibly poor planning.

| say ail this acknowledging that the expanded restaurant space reduces parking and increases traffic congestion. The
reduced parking is a trade off. But there is parking on side streets and in city parking lots / garages close by. CLOSE BY is
the operative word. Complaining about parking because it isn’t available directly in front of the store is overblowing the
situation. The same people who complain about this will drive to the mall, park a long way from the store and walk in.

| dealt with the traffic congestion by using the parallel side streets. They have remained congestion free and easily
passable.

The multiple benefits of the expanded outdoor dining easily out way any problems it creates. It generates an entirely
new ambiance for downtown Nashua especially on warm summer days and evenings.

YES. Continue it. | would have no problem with it staying the same size and duration as last year (2021).

My wife and | have been living in Nashua for over 40 years and have to say that Outdoor Dining was a great
way for us to support the restaurants over the last couple years with fear of Covid. We think it should be
extended every Spring and Summer when the weather is nice. One of the great things about downtown is the
restaurants and walkability.

There are other streets people can take to bypass Main Street and honestly we loved it on Amherst Street
also. If anything the only unpleasant this is the excessive noise from some Motorcycles that feel they not only
have to have no muffler but also crank up their radios to be as annoying as they can. We hope that you will
approve outdoor dining for this year and in the future.

Hello!

| recently learned that you are considering whether to approve outdoor dining for downtown Nashua
once again this summer. | wanted to reach out in support of this. We really enjoyed the outdoor dining
opportunities, seeing people we knew as we strolled down Main Street, enjoying the busy and active
feel of having lots of people in the area, and the opportunity to dine outside amidst the pandemic.

Actually, we hope that when the pandemic is a thing of the past, that outdoor dining opportunities will
continue. Main Street often feels "empty" and like we are struggling to get people there. We worry
about the retail businesses as well as the restaurants and believe the foot traffic resulting from the
outdoor dining is likely good for retail businesses. We have so much turnover downtown and would

like to see it more "steady".
Thank you for considering this issue!
Sincerely,

Tricia and Paul Casey
