every once in a while the idea of closing off portions of our down town come up, the trade off would there would have to be adequate parking so you could at least get close with a car, we have not even had support for that. The idea of smaller lots would not go over well here but in the cold snowy winters we have you don't have to think too hard to figure out why many people are not thrilled about this. Personally I would love to see some cobble stone thrown down and the road closed for a section and promote locally owned specialty shops but I don't see it happening here for quite a while at least. If it were to be done it would be nice to see a couple single track lanes for cycling rather than having people flying back and forth between the foot traffic because they would just give the considerate cyclist a bad name and may end up getting all bikes banned from the area.
