Not just north-south but also east-west. Plan a route from Portage and Morray to say the Club Regent Casino
without going through downtown.
It is why I keep saying the City needs an official, all modes, transportation study/plan completed. Not some piece meal isolated "improvements", not something mode specific and definitely not something that only looks at a single intersection.

Add the extra cost of re-installing permanent barriers, and the need for keeping P & m closed to pedestrians just kind of fades away.

Definitely laughable. The voters spoke pretty clearly on this and to go against the public opinion in the referendum is career suicide for anyone on city council. Heck if they wanted to stick their hand out on this issue it would never have gone to a public referendum in the first place. After all Bowman promised in his first campaign to open P&M to pedestrians, hopefully #TeamOpen holds him accountable for what happened next civic election.

You mean no reason other than any councilor voting to
not put those barriers back up is signing their name on a dotted line to be promptly voted out of office.
