Everyone loves the avenue because of the businesses there. But they want to disagree with what the business owners actually want/think they need to be successful.

Why else do people go to the avenue? The shops and restaurants.

You realize people live in the neighborhood, right? And surely history shows the constant expansion of car infrastructure never has any unintended consequences?

There aren’t remotely enough people in the walkable Avenue vicinity to keep all those businesses afloat.

people will come to a popular area and walk around who don’t live nearby. they don’t need to have the ability to park right in the center of it.

That’s a pretty strong claim. You may want to check with the businesses there about their agreement with that sentiment…

They keep upping their prices, I have to drive there anyway so now I look for other beer stores. Used to be best prices and best selection so the line for the parking lot was suffferable. Now it’s just a cheese and bread shop to me.
