  • Do You Have Any Other Comments About Upper Solano Avenue?
    Do you have any other comments about Upper Solano Avenue? # Response Date Response Text 1 Sep 12, 2010 8:39 PM Need wider sidewalks for outdoor seating and street trees Definitely change the restaurant permit limit issue. It makes restaurants less competitive; if you have a permit, you stay because new ones can't come in and compete. It discourages staying current 2 Sep 12, 2010 9:04 PM and investment in older restaurants, and once the restaurant business get lazy, then the whole street loses it's competitive edge. Look at Oakland. They are doing something right. Please don't let the NIMBYs and "Party of No" stop 3 Sep 12, 2010 11:06 PM improvements! 4 Sep 13, 2010 12:28 AM Signal at The Alameda should be made pedestrian safer. Upper Solano has INSUFFICIENT PARKING. That's what keeps 5 Sep 13, 2010 3:27 AM me away. I only go there as often as I do to go to La Farine bakery on Sunday mornings. It's a bit staid. I drive to Oakland to go to dinner on Telegraph (e.g. Pizzaiola, Dona Tomas) or Piedmont Ave (e.g. Dopo) rather than 6 Sep 14, 2010 3:17 AM going to Solano. Needs more cafes with outdoor seating. Needs more life in the evening. Could use a place like Oakland's Bakesale Betty's to draw traffic. I would like to see a variety of businesses on Solano that would provide local shopping for residents. An increase in the number of restaurants would not accomplish this goal.
