I’m writing in opposition to a continuation of the outdoor dining. It was great when we needed to support restaurants
but that time has passed. We've been eating indoors for a long time now and the mask mandates are gone. The outdoor
dining took a toll on the non-restaurant businesses downtown, and for a while it was a good trade off. It is no longer -
the charges to benefit a narrow set of businesses at the expense of others is now an injustice.

Thanks
