4. Bad idea

Having walked through the French Quarter a couple of days after Mardi Gras this year, while I concur that certain blocks near Canal Street ought to be made pedestrian-only at certain times of day and certain times of year, making the whole neighborhood pedestrian-only 24/7 is a bad idea. The Quarter is a living, breathing neighborhood, Most drivers trying to get from here to there fast know better than to navigate the Quarter’s narrow streets and frequent stop-signs. This is a nice idea that won’t work.

(BTW I didn’t catch the virus)
