    Took them long enough! Nobody but tourists drive down there anyways, if you’re on Pike Place you made a bad decision.

      100%, first time I saw that traffic Armageddon I suggested to all friends that it’s faster to park at my house and take the link lol.

    Please do this. Also do it for some of the other similar streets in the city, like Ballard Ave. Maybe open it to delivery trucks only before 8am, then foot traffic only the rest of the day?

      I’d love to see it on Ballard Ave! There was talk of doing a “superblock” on Capitol Hill a few years ago too, which would be cool - https://www.theurbanist.org/2022/10/26/capitol-hill-pedestrian-superblock-dreams-revived-during-tour-with-mosqueda-and-spotts/
