Concern with the number of seats available in the restaurant with fewer parking spaces available
Concern with the hours of operation
Liked the sketch plan but there is no parking
Could be made into a cafe so parking would not be needed
Vision for Vernon is to make it into a nice corridor for walking and biking
Kernel of a brilliant idea but the details are wrong
Liked on street parking idea
Single story building with surface parking is not the best use of the property

Having a gathering space would be great
Great place for a restaurant/gathering area
