Bring the people to the street; literally

grand-av
Picture Lincoln Road on Miami Beach. Now picture last week's Mad Hatter Arts Festival in the Grove.

How about making Grand Avenue a weekend or Sunday-only closed street promenade? The Green Market could be out there as well as musicians, artists, the antique market and maybe a few other things like small food vendors (water, juice, maybe hot dogs, run by local restaurants).

There seems to be no adverse effect on traffic patterns, in fact, people can take the scenic route along the water when coming or going from the Grove when Grand Avenue is closed. It was a smashing success last week, maybe it can be a regular thing.
