I'm all for promoting cycling and walking and all that, so I decided to go check it out today. I had hoped that even though I knew it was a bad idea that maybe somehow it would turn out well.... and it really really didn't.
Everything just seemed very poorly planned and there really just wasn't much of anything going on. Pretty disappointing. And Memorial really wasn't a good place to do it. It didn't even extend to 10th street, so it was literally just a random chunk of Memorial sectioned off randomly.
If they decide to do this again next year, I really hope a bit more thought and effort is put in.
