Please do not take away the parking spaces along the North Person Street business district. Parking was just reconfigured there with the last phase. Do not undo it. The businesses and residents need those spots.

Whether one is for or against protected bike lanes, on street parking, or the two-way conversion - - as a Person Street partner, I encourage the Phase 2 planners/designers to help us continue to, as our mural proclaims, "Build A Better Person" and ensure that the three blocks of North Person Street maintain a good BALANCE of on street parking, loading zones, and bike lane access.
Unlike downtown with ample parking decks and the Village District with plenty of surface parking, the Person Street business district has always lacked sufficient and dependable off-street parking and current on-street parking is by no means excessive! Seriously, these businesses do rely on on-street parking for a good percentage of their customers as do businesses all over Raleigh! Please plan wisely and consider a safer overall streetscape plan for the three blocks of North Person Street that preserves this balance without replacing valuable on-street parking with protected lanes if at all possible. From the beginning, the idea was to calm the streets with the “road diet” and the two-way conversion so that all modes of transport could share the road and co-exist?
We've spent the last 12 years working hard to revitalize Person Street and help create the best collection of locally owned retail shops and restaurants in downtown Raleigh! I challenge the City to keep our valuable businesses’ best interest at heart and continue to rethink this design!

We need more parking for all the existing businesses.

On street parking options are very good. Sometimes have to look for a spot, but more often than not, spots are open.

If the goal is to attract people to downtown, parking is essential
