7th St should be closed for through traffic every Sunday for the Farmers Market. Instead of using the narrow Avenue A sidewalk and blocking the bike lane we can have a spacious space for people to enjoy and support the market.

“ 7th St should be closed for through traffic every Sunday for the Farmers Market”

100% Agree!

I agree as well!

That's clearly not safe. I thought this was a limited event. That's way more than 500 people. This event has outgrown the EV and the Park and should be moved back to ERP next year.

I loved the parade format along Avenue B today. More people could really see all the dogs up close and appreciate the costumes vs. the previous format of a huge crowd in front of a small stage with poor sight lines. I hope they keep the parade route format permanently!!!

Loved the new format. It really felt like we were walking down in a parade. Although the ERP is still my favorite, this was so much better than the cluster-you-know-what that was last year.

Close a street down and create more congestion for a farmer's market that has 6 or 7 vendors on a huge sidewalk? You people are just so clueless on traffic flow, you must be on the City Council?
