Hello,
In regards to Agenda Item 4 (For the Good of the town)
I have 2 comments.
1.) Very concerned about the atmosphere downtown on weekends and during the week. A few
problem bar/restaurants are creating a negative environment. Have observed many nights with
conflicting musical entertainment seemingly fighting for air space making for a
ridiculously unacceptable and unattractive environment for patrons of other restaurants who
want to enjoy their evening out. (ie Kick N Mule is not playing nice with Norms), Players is out
of control. In addition, safety protocols at these 3 places are absolutely atrocious. I have lived
here for 20yrs and walk downtown every day and have been spending my money to support all
local restaurants and bars over the pandemic. These 3 are ruining it for everyone else in my
opinion.
COMMON SENSE SOLUTION: Have a meeting with these business owners with a mediator and
get them to agree to work together to SHARE entertainment or rotate on weekends so they can
all benefit - It's impossible to enjoy the night downtown when there are 3 or 4 musicians
battling to be the loudest. Perhaps start with mellow music early and save the hardcore RAP
and DJ until AFTER 10pm when the kitchens all CLOSE.
2.) Car Lot - For Sale on Danville Blvd.
I understand this is never going away, it's a public street. However, with 60-100 cars parked
there every weekend, and permits required for people to sell food or wares. Is there a way to
get something passed in Danville to require anyone selling a VEHICLE in the town to have to
register or get a permit to sell or otherwise be ticketed? Could be a nice revenue stream for the
town. Otherwise, can we enforce littering, etc? Need more garbage cans on this end of town
as well.
