80 Midway Ave. - Permit Parking lot

Third-generation business owner argued against privatizing the Midway parking lot, noting it has been shared by businesses and residents for decades.

Expressed worry that gating the parking lot will push employee and customer cars onto surrounding residential side streets.

Pastor of Mount Calvary Holy Church noted they have used the lot for 53 years for overflow parking and asked to preserve access.

Expressed neighborhood block club concerns over traffic flow, pedestrian safety, and losing access to the parking lot.

Urged the board to deny the variance so the community can negotiate a community benefits agreement for 24/7 lot access.
