Business Owners with Concerns:

~Maria Lantz Frontera is requesting Warren Main Street’s support with City Council for her to have 15-minute parking meters in front of her business to allow customers to run in to buy something and leave. She states that Street scape and the new parking arrangement have impacted her business.

~Liberty Street businesses are concerned with the large particleboard box covering most of the sidewalk in front of the Art & Cultural Center. Can it be removed ASAP? It is harming our businesses and making the street look really bad. So few open storefronts and then the big box.
