CITIZEN COMMENTS TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
Brent Bohman, 563 North Columbus, said he was opposed to parking restrictions on State Street. He said customers of Radio City had no where to park after 10:00 p.m. and that hurt business. He said some of the customers had received parking tickets or their cars had been towed away.
