So I know this project is more or less dead but I have a question about it anyhow! I suppose this is mostly for Don B and his legal knowledge, but anyone can chime in.
I was thinking about
Kansas City's Power and Light District and their more or less open container law for within the district. Here's the important tidbit from WikiP:
Quote:
In 2005, the Cordish Company successfully lobbied the Missouri General Assembly for a new law pertaining to any "entertainment district" in Downtown Kansas City which will allow patrons to remove any alcoholic beverage from any establishment in the District and carry it openly throughout the portions of the District not open to vehicular traffic, provided that the beverage is in a plastic cup marked with the logo of the establishment at which it was purchased

Would it be possible to do something like that in Arizona? Heck get Cindy McCain/The Hensley's to start the lobbying for it! My thought was if you closed Jackson Street from Central to 4th St and 3rd Street from Jackson to Lincoln on Fridays and Saturdays after 7pm or something perhaps a law like this could be worked out.
Anyway, I know JSED is dead on the mat for now, probably forever but if it ever comes back Im thinking a special district loophole like this would really help it stand apart from the other entertainment areas in the Valley. Though I suppose you'd need to be using police to barricade off the roads and doing that every weekend might get costly to the point of it not being worth it, I'm not sure.
