Think it'll ever happen here (besides Sixth Street overnight)?

We've done it for one day, "Ciclovia" style, under the name Viva Streets -- for the 6th street or Mueller areas -- but it's been a while.

But to do it permanently?  UT did it with Speedway, but other than that?  No time soon, anyways.

I took my family to the Ciclovia.  Good times.

With Speedway, they also closed it to *bicyclists*.  That ruined a thoroughfare for me.
