Dear Sirs and Madams,
The vote may already be done but keep in mind, you are choosing the winners and losers in a supposedly free market. There are more retail stores than restaurants but I don't understand why the City might prefer one over the other. The street can be open and we should all have a chance to survive. Some villages are closing their downtown streets after 4 pm on Friday night through the weekend. That might be workable for us. I'm sure those two nights are the most important to the restaurants.
All of us on Santa Cruz Av (Retail and restaurants) need sales and the City of Menlo Park needs sales tax revenue. Seems like a No Brainer.
Sincerely,
James Littrell
