San Diego has 5th street m-f until 5pm you can drive on it,Saturday and Sunday it is pedestrian only they have vendors .
It is extremely clean and well run.
Neither of these can the city of New Orleans provide.


Royal Street is like this every day.

The right plan is to keep the royal and bourbon commercial sections closed most of the afternoon/night, allowing for deliveries and such in the AM, AND stop allowing cars to cross the commercial section of bourbon in the evenings. Yes it will require people to walk a block to get a uber/lyft, but those streets are gridlocked anyways on the weekend/busy nights, so you aren't losing anything.
