Breckenridge CO ended their pedestrian Main Street program, because it was popular.
> Why? Because it was “too popular and might cause problems for business with hiring staff to serve the 120 percent capacity the street creates” as reported in The Overhead Wire.>But it gets better. The Mayor and Town Council actually nixed the use of streets for anyone except car drivers, despite the fact that over 80 percent of both residents and businesses in Breckenridge wanted it.> another council member cited ‘safety issues’ with the closed street. https://pricetags.ca/2021/05/06/breckenridge-colorado-pedestrian-main-street-too-successful-council-votes-to-return-traffic-on-street-instead/?fbclid=IwAR1jkm2QdcOjjJnKxMxIC-XL1wWa9TOewEwzoid8VQB_Rs51vkxK5CyJoWY
