To Whom It May Concern:
I am an employee of a downtown business and want to inform you that I am AGAINST the new ordinance
being voted upon by the alderman this month of March. I am AGAINST the continuation of the barricades
which reduce parking spaces. I am AGAINST reducing the four traffic lanes going north and south through
downtown to two. It creates a bottleneck for my commute in the morning and in the evening. It is frustrating
for both employees and our loyal customers to have all this congestion with only two lanes of continuous
traffic. Downtown roads have commercial trucks; freight companies like UPS, FedEx, Amazon, USPS, etc;
plus customer and employee traffic.
I continue to enjoy the outdoor dining of the restaurants on the sidewalk. I am for having the tables and
chairs in front of the boundaries of the restaurant. I am AGAINST the extended outdoor dining which places
tables and chairs in the parking areas. It crowds out our customers who are patronizing the many downtown
businesses.
We want an active and vibrant downtown. We want ALL local businesses to succeed. Restaurants are not the
only businesses downtown. The rest of us deserve a chance too.
Sincerely,
