So is the pedestrian plaza closed for good? Or will it reopen in the summer?
ReplyDeleteThis was sort of a trial run, to see how the plaza worked out, see how it affected traffic, etc. but I think it went well and while it's still under discussion (last I heard), I believe they will be bringing it back in spring/summer.
