Of course, we also chose to be downtown because we wanted to stop making choices that wasted half our lives in the car... People say "what can you do downtown?" - the simple answer is we LIVE here. Walking to parks, to the library, to shows, to concerts, to games, to shop, to wander...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782792124434572025.post-82140385842998600742011-10-17T21:34:59.760-04:002011-10-17T21:34:59.760-04:00VisuaLingual: people get freaked out just from me ...VisuaLingual: people get freaked out just from me suggesting it.5chw4r7zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635910297238841220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782792124434572025.post-54881193517481946832011-10-17T16:44:37.195-04:002011-10-17T16:44:37.195-04:00Schwartz, the recent Midpoint Midway, or whatever ...Schwartz, the recent Midpoint Midway, or whatever it was called, did shut down 12th St. for a few evenings, and it seemed to work out well, accomplishing what you describe. Second Sunday on Main is similar.

Adults are supposed to ride in the street (pretty safe in the basin, as Quimbob says) Weekend traffic, particularly in the morning in the basin is very light. Give it a try. And read up on the utility of helmets.Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348106829433603531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782792124434572025.post-26172236629664431062011-10-17T11:14:42.271-04:002011-10-17T11:14:42.271-04:00I don't think biking in the basin is dangerous...I don't think biking in the basin is dangerous but I am an adult & a solitary rider.

I tell them who cares, get out and walk.<br />Someday I'd like to see Cincinnati do a Sunday Streets program like other cities. Shut down one street, maybe Vine from Fountain Square to the Gateway Quarter. Or 5th St.<br />Somewhere we have to stop the craziness and start designing cities for people again and not design for cars.5chw4r7zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635910297238841220noreply@blogger.com
