Dear Alderman,
I know the barriers downtown is up for discussion. I just wanted to let you know we frequent the downtown
area on a weekly basis and we are not a fan of the barriers. Most of the time the tables are half empty especially
during the week. I would not mind if they can put some restaurants can put some outside tables against their
buildings, on the sidewalk but the need is no longer there. Traffic was a mess last year and the barriers looked
ugly painted. Then a makeshift bike lane was added which made it look even worse. Now that restaurants can
now have 100% capacity I don't see the point of blocking up lanes of downtown traffic. I also know plenty of
people avoided downtown due to the lack of parking on main street itself and some people really don't feel
comfortable parking at the creepy parking garages especially at night.
Thanks,
Gerard Ouellette
