He stated that we have a crisis downtown. He said <br /> that he really wants the Council to think about how we are going to preserve all <br /> the mom and pops in the downtown. He wants the Council to think of <br /> downtown as a neighborhood, and said that we cannot compete with the <br /> restaurants on I1135 with the parking situation being what it is. He stated that <br /> this has to be resolved in the short term and that we don't have time for a <br /> subcommittee or consultant. He said that we have to figure out a solution now <br /> and not later, and that this is more serious than you think. We have a very <br /> short amount of time to work towards the long term. <br /> Kyle Mylius,addressed the Council in support of a comprehensive employee <br /> parking area. He stated that he employs around 50 employees and that there <br /> are approximately 136 businesses that operate 8-5 in the downtown area. He <br /> stated that when an employee parks they are there all day. He stated that if we <br /> are able to implement an employee permit program then that would be helpful. <br /> He suggested as short term solution to work out a lease agreement with Mr. <br /> Carson and Mr. Casey. He then suggested as a long term solution to locate a <br /> parking lot that can be served by an electric shuttle program.
