Backed by Councilors Alma Castro and Pat Feghali, the plan aims to boost pedestrian safety in an area bustling with two million visitors annually — and even includes potential November extensions for special events. While supporters like Rik Blythe argue it would bring consistency, reduce noise and pollution, and cut costs from recurring event closures, critics like John Romero say it undermines cherished traditions and historical character. Councilor Castro, who cites personal safety incidents, insists the move is about protecting lives — and with the final vote looming, the city is split on whether to embrace this transformative change.
