Subject: Main Street barriers
CAUTION: This email came from outside of the organization. Do not click links/open attachments if source is unknown.
To our esteemed board:
lam strongly opposed to having downtown barriers again.
Personally, | would not eat outside on a main street that has that much traffic. | do not want dirt and fumes pelting my
food as | eat. Just look at the dirt that collects on snawbanks along busy streets. No, thank you.
| also believe it is not fair to business that aren’t restaurants. The barriers take up parking spaces and | believe that
includes handicapped spaces.
While barriers helped restaurants when they couldn’t have indoor dining, it is no longer necessary. We are past that
now. Those that want to have outdoor dining can still do so without barriers.
The barriers make the street look and feel like a construction zone. | avoid those zones whenever | can. That includes
Main Street.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Kim Silverman
