3rd Street merchants and shoppers already use surrounding residential areas for parking. Any 3rd Street option will make this worse unless additional parking is created off-street or at the mall. Make sure sidewalk is non-slip Trees in the middle 2. Unacceptable to make a change I am in favor of beautification, but do it with lighting, sidewalks and storefront improvements. I don't like any option that depletes parking.
Parking is at a premium.
There are precious few parking spaces as it is. We cannot afford to lose any. If people want to shop, they have to park somewhere. In the past, the debris from trees plugged the storm drains and damaged the sidewalk. Don't make this mistake again.
