Flores, Dora <br />From: <br />Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2025 2:20 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Parking and Street Closures and Low Sales, oh my!!! <br />Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />City Council, <br />What is happening in DTSA is a disgrace. Parking costs are through the roof. Guests and employees alike are <br />outraged. And for what? A new coat of paint? The parking structure don't need a coat of paint, they need to be <br />well lit and safe for guests and employees. Street closures barricade our businesses from paying <br />customers. Letting event organizers bring in their own food vendors is a slap in the face of the existing <br />restauranteurs. The events should SUPPORT the existing businesses, and we should all work together! How <br />does the city justify the Fiestas Patrias cost of $500K, especially during this tumultuous political climate we are <br />all suffering from? My work lost almost 75% of our regular weekend business because of Patrias! <br />When will the city actually support the businesses that are currently here? <br />Sheila <br />When we no longer have good cooking in the world, we will have no literature, no high and sharp intelligence, nor <br />friendly gathering, nor social harmony. <br />-Marie-Antoine Careme <br />
