It is very unfortunate what happened at Council today. We have residents walking into the street because they want to physical distance. We were talking about 19 of 320 parking space changes on one side of Bank street for 3 blocks. This is shameful.

There is a parking garage directly behind these areas that is 15% full on average. There is parking across the street which is not full. There is curb side pickup directly beside. It’s so sad when even one parking spot change is opposed during a public health crises.

These are mostly larger businesses in this area. Pharmacies, grocery stores, and hardware store. Essential services.

I have been disparaged regularly throughout this process, peronal attacks I would never have expected while trying to get my residents a small amount of space during this time.
