[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And wouldn't it better for the environment for all that pollution to be emitted in an area surrounded by trees rather than houses?  Wouldn't it be better for that speeding to happen in an area without people rather than one with?

Only a fool would believe that that traffic just magically disappears now that the road is closed off.  The traffic always goes somewhere.  It's like a river in that regard. In this case that traffic has gone into the residential neighborhoods abutting the Park.

Definitely better for everyone to turn one of our areas most beautiful public space into a commuter speedway. You car people are outrageous[/quote]

Ooh, it's a double lie followed by an insult.  Is there some reason why you can't tell the truth while trying to make your argument?

Beach Drive has been an integral road as long as any of us have been alive.  It is also one of the few connectors bringing the east and west sides of the park together.  Displacement of those cars just leads to increased congestion, increased pollution, and less pedestrian friendly neighborhoods.  Restoring its pre-covid status is an important part of returning to normal and as such it would still be closed on weekends.  Now that work from home is ending it is barely used during the weekdays.
