This summer, for the first time, Seattle banned cars in the Pike Place Market :
Last year (2024), some politicians said no one will shop here anymore if it’s pedestrianized :

Has the thought occurred that these people might not be shopping but commuting? Forced to commute on foot like some medieval peasant? You’re ideology is showing
Sure if you’re commuting you should have no issue commuting exactly one block over from the market.
I’ve been there in person, even before closing from vehicles, there wasn’t an issue with congestion.
People walked to the market from the public parking a block away then as well.
Sure, commuting through a 3 block market. Totally a thing in reality.
If I could commute to work by walking through pike place market every day I would!
