MY CONCERN: I am concerned about the Gualala Streetscape Plan, and the negative impact the loss of parking on Highway 1 will have on Surf Market and other local businesses.

A Mendocino County report states, “Due to the elimination of on-street (Route 1) parking spaces and private parking spaces, business economic loss is likely.”

MY REQUEST: We need more parking in the downtown area - not less. Please consider revising the plan.

Surf Market is a vital community resource. I depend on Surf for the selection and quality of products that are only available there. Plus, over the years, Surf has consistently supported many community organizations with financial or in-kind support. Without that support, it would be more difficult for those organization to serve our community. Also, Surf Market is one of the largest employers in our area. Our local economy is fragile, and we can’t afford to lose jobs.

Thank you
