Key quotes from impacted residents

“Should be northbound. Also don’t lose 2 parking spaces maybe just half a space for a smaller planter.”

“Making it one way is fine but removing parking spaces when it’s already a problem to park is ridiculous. If you are going to remove the spaces then please look at changing the permit conditions.”
