I do hope you keep most of the roads closed to traffic on Santa Cruz Ave. My family and friends have loved the outdoor dining and feel like it brings community more together - covid or no covid.
Once some of the storefronts become more occupied (hopefully by interesting and useful businesses- like a stationary/party supply store) I believe all stores will share additional foot traffic.
We need great thriving restaurants to draw people to our downtown. Please keep the roads closed to not only allow them to remain open during the pandemic but for the future. Even during cold nights people love the atmosphere outdoor dining creates. This will only increase as weather improves and our downtown becomes occupied by more open businesses.
Thank you!
