Alderman O’Brien
Chair Infrastructure Committee
1am unable to attend the infrastructure meeting this week to voice my support of the downtown barriers. This program
has been successful for the last two years. As chair of the downtown improvement committee we have discussed the
pros and cons of this program, we have walked the downtown area and looked at areas that could possibly be adjusted
for additional parking on Main Street and side streets. We have discussed how we can improve the barrier program,
looking at time frames for barriers in place, color of barriers, and areas that can do with less outdoor space. These
discussions will continue so that we have a program that works for everyone.
| realize there are a couple of downtown business owners who strongly oppose the barriers, | think it is important to
listen to all, and | personally believe a majority of business owners are in favor of the barriers. Barriers not only provide
additional seating for restaurants they make a major impact on the speed of traffic on Main Street which is a
positive. Yes we need to discuss the program and make it work for all and | hope by voting to continue the program we
can continue to engage this positive program for downtown.
