Dear Nashua BOA,
We are writing this letter as concerned business owners for over 60 years in Nashua. Parking 60
years ago was at a premium anid it is still an issue for many downtown merchants today.
The concrete barriers that are installed on roads such as Clinton Street where my business is,
definitely affects my parking which is already limited in that area.
During the times with high COVID counts, | totally understand that the barriers were installed to help
with the restaurant business. Patrons were afraid to dine during the high covid times and this was an
option for their survival.
What you are asking of smali businesses for 3 more years of this parking restriction, would be
detrimental to all businesses who are trying to hold on in these bad economic times. With the barriers
installed, it eliminates many parking spots and without customers, we would not survive.
While many of these restaurants are open for late lunches and evenings, these concrete barriers are
affecting the small businesses that are open all day 8-5.
| would ask that you take our comments into consideration before you vote on this ordinance.
Sincerely,
Thomas Maffee
