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.
ReplyDeleteClose 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?

ReplyDelete100% Agree!
I agree as well!
DeleteThat'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.
ReplyDeleteAgree with closing 7th st for the Farmer's Market
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!
ReplyDeleteLoved 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.
