We encourage you to use your own words when calling or writing, but we have included our concerns below as suggested topics.
Parking has long been the Village's most significant issue. This expansion reduces public parking just before the problem worsens due to the park renovation in the Village starting this month.
The use of the public property for private business use sets a bad precedent that would be disastrous if other local businesses were to copy
The patio design is unattractive and negatively impacts how the Village is perceived.
With the end of pandemic restrictions, there is no longer any need for this outdoor dining space.
