there’s been a movement in the last few years to get the buses off nicollet, because they are so noisy and so polluting that it ruins the ambiance. there are lots of sidewalk restaurants (in the summer) and a big farmer’s market from spring til fall, but the noisy belching buses roar past every minute or two, and it’s almost less pleasant than if it were cars and everything.

if it’s going to be pedestrian only, it should be pedestrian only.
