Subject: Main Street Closing for Octoberfest.

Dear Santa Monica Council person,
I object to the closing down of Main Street and the Money given to the Main Street Merchants for their Octoberfest.
I live a block from Main Street and object to the closing down of Main St. because it disrupters traffic patterns causing more problems for near by residents from added traffic and less parking available to residents.
I very much object to giving Main Street merchants $20,000 to subsidize their Octoberfest. The Octoberfest is an enterprise activity that only benefits the Main Street merchants. It does not benefit the residents by making the city greener, a better place to live or reduce property taxes; there are so many other ways to better spend the city’s money.
Sincerely
Dawn Cotter

Subject: Support for Roctober Street Closure on Main Street

Hello Mayor Himmelrich, CouncilMembers,
Sean Besser here. I am VP of The Ocean Park Association and chairing our Main Street Task Force. I ask you to vote yes on the Rocktoberfest street event. OPA voted to support the Main Street Merchants and we are looking forward to a day of Main Street as a pedestrian plaza.
Once again, we are going to have a pet costume contest and plan on showing a kid friendly movie in the Street.
Thank You,
~~Sean Besser
