Reply to comment by Autumn_Sweater in Does the Avenue in Hampden need more parking? by Ghoghogol

The merchants don’t like that idea but I think it would be pretty cool.

can't comment on that but The Avenue is the street for the buses through the neighborhood and there aren't any near by parallel streets that could replace it and provide convenient transit to the area.

Pedestrianization doesn’t necessarily mean busses would cease to use it. Some places just will close the street to private traffic or only allow it in certain hours (such as having only certain hours for deliveries).

It's amazing to see how the city bus drivers make those turns within inches of parked cars... the street parking in Hampden is hazardous - it should be car free but of course not...
