The city finally backed down and agreed to keep the parking plan functioning for us so the lanes stay open. I am honestly still in total shock that we actually pulled this off despite how much they fought us at the start. Please keep coming out to bowl because now …

Classic Bowling Center is a valued community asset. It provides healthy activities for people of all ages. There is nothing else like it in the North County.

We need to have adequate parking spaces with enough time to complete our leagues, tournaments, and parties.

Don’t let Classic Bowling Center be forced out of business. There's only one Classic Bowling Center!

City Council – please hear our voices. Don’t adopt a parking plan that won’t work for Classic Bowling Center and us!

I honestly never thought we would see this kind of momentum because I was just sitting in the lounge frustrated by the parking situation and now look at where we are. It is wild to think about how many people actually care about keeping those lanes open even when it feels like the city keeps forgetting that real people use this place every single weekend.

I was at the center earlier and honestly watching the lanes go makes me realize how quiet the whole neighborhood would be without that sound. People keep telling me their stories about leagues they played in decades ago and it just confirms that these parking cuts are totally ignoring the history here.

A hundred people actually signed this thing and I am honestly kind of floored because I was just venting into the void about the terrible parking situation when I started it. My phone has been buzzing constantly and seeing all these names makes me think maybe the council actually has to listen to us now.

The fact that something as trivial as parking being a reason to shut down a profitable business that has been serving the community for decades as well as providing employment for community members is nothing short of ridiculous.

Classic Bowl is a great business in the community for all ages to gather and have some good fun safe times, please reconsider your changes to the parking it would significantly negatively impact the experience at this business if you had limited parking time while bowling, eating or meeting with friends and family

Classic Bowl gave me something to look forward to every week as well as kept me active when I was going through chemo treatment. There wasn’t much to look forward to while fighting cancer, but bowling every week at Classic Bowl was a light in a dark place for me

Classic Bowling Center had not only given me employment in the past, but has also given me long lasting friendship from former and current employees as well as customers and league bowlers that I may have never met if not for the Bowling Center being here.

Bowling is such a great sport that the entire family can take part in. My family has been bowling at Classic for over 25 years now. It’s something we look forward to every weekend.

Classic lanes is one of the premier bowling centers in California. Overly restricting parking will make it immensely difficult for patrons to complete leagues and enjoy community.
