Farmer's Market tarps gone

[snorkle]

I agree the timing was bad; but in all fairness to the county; the vendors and venue had years to deal with it and prepare for it.

They tore it down in a day. right. How permanent was that? It wasn't. That's the point, it was a temporary structure left up permanently. Illegally.

Another option would be to legalize temporary structures to remain in place in perpetuity. In all fairness, this would have to apply to all neighborhoods and districts. Do you like the blue, gray or white tarps?

I'm not necessarily against this, but I think it's real punaweb for people to grumble about zoning, permitting, or safety enforcement on one issue, and whine about lack of enforcement on others. Especially when there is a viable, easy, inexpensive and legal solution.

Landscaping for atmosphere, pop-ups for vendor empowerment, financing and rentals available, empty spaces with chairs for customer shelter, taken down at night or for inclement weather. Easy.

If people want the aesthetic provided by the old market, they could rip some of the tents and spatter stains, urine, and rust on them to make it as ghetto as it used to be.
