Does anything deter you from visiting <br />downtown Elk River? <br />No <br />Yes <br />Survey participants left the following comments on this question: <br />53% <br />■ "Car traffic. Shut down Main Street to cars on a set day or days over the weekend. Create the <br />place to be by slowing the car traffic and allowing a free -flow of people traffic. Trying this <br />option will have zero negative impact on the economy." <br />■ Everything is located in a two block area and it is difficult to drive through on event nights <br />especially in the summer. Thursday with rush hour, trains, and people at the activities going <br />on." <br />■ "Lack of parking and heavy traffic through downtown." <br />■ "Not much there to see or do. Better dining options needed, going to an old run down smoky <br />bar sucks. It's not what the younger generation of people wants to do. The places that are fun <br />and exciting (think AEGIR) are too small. Better parking would be great, but I'm OK with <br />walking. There just isn't much to do." <br />■ "Parking" <br />■ "Parking and availability." <br />■ "The parking and getting through town is terrible — what happened to Historic Downtown." <br />■ "The traffic congestion downtown in the evenings is horrible!" <br />■ "Traffic." <br />■ "Traffic problems and parking most of the time. I still go downtown a lot despite that." <br />
