Bud Miyamoto Business Quotations

I think it will have a positive effect on all the (downtown) businesses by drawing more consumers and by creating a beautiful project that's replacing some blighted properties. I believe it will stimulate additional growth in that area.

It's a matter of addressing where there are high concentrations of businesses. Caledonia Street should be considered equally with downtown because both depend on access to stores without people crawling over banks of snow. We ask business owners to clean their sidewalks in 24 hours. I support that, but it's difficult to answer their complaints when snow piles up on the curbs in front of their businesses.
