To all Aldermen, my name is Chris Thibodeau from ward 6 this is regarding dining on main street.
I like the vibe of the dining on main street and may have been helpful to a point get restaurants some help last
year but it's honestly not practical. It takes up parking that is already hard enough to find. The restaurants have
been allowed sidewalk dining and that already already takes up the side walks, that is more than enough. A
friend informed me that it is having the opposite impact to the non restaurant shop owners. It impacts the flow
of traffic especially during high use times. For my representative the vote should be no.
If the vote is agreed upon there is no reason why it needs to be approved for three consecutive years, it should
be an annual thing that gets looked into.
Thank you for your time
Chris Thibodeau
