Other: Two blocks of east Kirkwood st seem to be closed off. I am asking if this is permanent? I understand its allowing out side dining which is nice. However there is a great shortage of parking in downtown. Removing 2 whole blocks of parking means that I'll never be able to park and use the restaurants that are at those locations. I cant use the library for the same reason. So I understand that this is good for students but it's bad for residents. And I think over all bad for business. I hope that after the virus scare is over you have plans to reopen parking there. What is the plan? Thanks

Hi Mr. Kestenman, Thanks for your note. The closures on Kirkwood are first an effort to help local businesses generate some commercial activity during the pandemic. And as the weather changes, outdoor seating will become less appealing. So we anticipate that this level of closure will continue into the fall, but not deep into the winter. Following that, it's hard to predict how the pandemic will be affecting us. We recognize the tension between the need for commercial activity and parking and are striving to strike that balance moving forward. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Alex
