In theory I love this idea and have proposed this to many people.

Problem is how do you get deliveries to the businesses if you block both their front and back streets? Now you have to deliver and hand truck everything a block and you'd just have delivery trucks idling around that outside.

Close off the square and the surrounding block to vehicle traffic to start, it’s nuts that people drive through the square to get where they’re going. It’s inconvenient for cars and pedestrians, and I feel like half the time people only go through it by accident because everyone who frequents downtown never drives through the square unless they have to, because there are better ways.

Shame they didn't have the balls to just boot her off the board entirely, especially after the crap she pulled in the meeting "in her defense"

In short, claiming it was just an excuse to publicly shame her and she shouldn't be in trouble because she "didn't know it was an sps event" and then closed with "I will continue to fight what the hustlers are peddling" which the conservative room seemed to enjoy

It was just so bizarre to watch. It was obviously just a stunt to keep that low-brow-conservative vote, very apparently antagonistic, and not even the first time she's done stuff like this. After all that, all they did is remove her arguably meaningless title for an unpaid board position?
