To be successful, the Village needs more parking. For example, recently on a Saturday night we were trying to decide between two Fair Oaks restaurants - one in the Village and one off Madison. When I realized it was a Saturday, it made the decision easy. I knew the lack of parking would add stress to the night, so we chose the other option. I strongly believe that due to its central location in the Village, the property would be better suited as a parking lot or parking structure. The county or a developer should be allowed to purchase the land for the greater good of the community and local businesses. I would be willing to pay for parking if that meant we didn’t have to drive in circles trying to find a spot.
