    Oh cool! Our town does something similar in the summer. One street is dedicated to the farmer’s market, and several chunks of parking are converted to outdoor seating.

      They used to do that here too on the street in front of the movie theatre downtown where’d they’d block off the street on weekends for the farmer’s market or other events. Eventually, they just put permanent bollards up and now it’s not a drivable street at any time. Too bad it’s just a single street on a single block. That area has way more stuff that would benefit from not being cut through by constant traffic
