It is KILLING business! If you don't think there are too many vacancies currently in downtown... then let this closure continue and the rest of downtown will empty out like a ghost town! Businesses cannot survive if this continues. > > I've talked to many of the other shop owners and staff and they all agree closing Santa Cruz for restaurants to expand into the street is a huge mistake. Expand in the parking spots adjoining the restaurants if they need it ... but in my block between Crane and University literally no one has used the space and it is literally KILLING all traffic into the shops. > > Customers are having issues finding parking because few know (or care to know) that there is parking behind the shops... and why should they care when there is PLENTY of parking out front that they should be able to use.. quick stop... spend some money and on their ways. > > PLEASE REOPEN SANTA CRUZ AVE IMMEDIATELY~! > > Thank you, > > Keith Quiggins > > [ https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e961f0085d0e104a500f887/t/5ed6ee7fe529096244112ad8/1591143930281/?format=750w ] https://www.rococoandtaupe.com > > > 844 Santa Cruz Ave. * Menlo Park, CA 94025 > Office: 650.308.9690 * Cell: 650.242.6804 > Received on Tue Jul 14 2020 - 12:18:33 PDT
