something like this on

Community Survey on Parklet Interest in
Downtown Gilroy.
Introduction:
Hello community members!
Thank you for participating in our community survey! We are seeking your valuable input to
understand the community's interest in allowing parklets in downtown Gilroy.
Parklets are public seating areas that are created by converting curbside parking spaces
into vibrant community spaces which may be used for outdoor seating and/or dining.
A business that desires outdoor seating or dining downtown has limited options. Due to
the narrow width of many of the sidewalks, a business may not be permitted to place
seating in that area without obstructing the right of way. As a result, constructing a parklet
may be the only option available to a business wanting to provide outdoor seating/dining
for their establishment.
Your responses will help us gauge the community's perspective on this initiative. Thank
you!
Gilroy Council -members: Fred M. Tovar, M.Ed., and Rebeca Armendariz
