Subject: MAIN COPY: PARKLET REQUEST TO KEEP AT 55 W. MAIN ST. AT ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
EXTERNAL SENDER
LEFT OFF below: The Athletic Performance parklet has also been a great meeting place
for our running group to stretch out and warm-up before runs without
bothering any other businesses on Sunday mornings. This is why I have mats down on the ground inside the parklet. And when the weather is good, I set up a table there for sales.
DEAR Town Council,
Please don't take away my Parklet in front of Athletic Performance. It is greatly used for bikes during each week and especially on the
weekends. I have a big Athletic Performance sign on it
and is great for business as well, but it is more
importance to have two spots there for bike parking and the spread out of crowds, since it is a huge hang
out spot from the coffee roasting company.
The one parklet spot which is the Nimbus Hair Salon parklet, is only one spot, and it is not enough for all the bikes
on Saturday and Sunday mornings that stop there for their coffee and hang out at the Coffee Roasting Company. The current 2 parklets is fine and
is perfect for all the bikes that come in and out.
Without that one spot, there will be too many people on the side
walk leading up to the coffee shop that is already jammed up on the weekends. Just having one spot is not enough, having two spots is good. If you have been out there, you know what I mean, the coffee shop is a good hang out spot, this way, it will
spread them out much more, especially now since the Share Tea
is now operating on the corner. I am out there every
weekend and during the week as well.
