Editor's note: Palm Coast is shifting the Starlight Parade from Town Center to Belle Terre Parkway this year and will hold it in the morning rather than in the evening. The city's decision elicited concern from residents who criticized the change in comments on the Observer's Facebook post about the decision. For this week's edition of Ask the Mayor, we have asked Mayor David Alfin to respond to two of those comments. The parade will be held at 11 a.m. Dec. 16 at 11 a.m. on Belle Terre Parkway in front of Belle Terre Elementary and Indian Trails Middle School.

Question from Annette Herlihy: That’s a major road that you will be shutting down, and no parking, and why still call it starlight when you are holding it in the daylight? Sad, we have Central Park and now not using it!
