More concessions to the ball park traffic situation are coming according to a proposed ordinance amendment on this week’s city council agenda.
San Francisco street between the Plaza Theater and Santa Fe street has been closed to vehicular traffic since city council action was taken in 1996.
That street portion “was intended to be used in conjunction with the Arts Festival Plaza as an environment from which pedestrians can enjoy various cultural events …” according the backup material supporting the proposed amendment.
Quality of life
Evidently baseball traffic trumps quality of life issues now.
We deserve better

Cultural events? El Paso “culture” is being redefined as baseball and downtown bars with a little shopping at the Fountains thrown in for good measure. Maybe the new vision for El Paso is to fill the void created by people not feeling safe traveling to Juarez for the bullfights and bars. The plan seems to be to create a place where people will want to spend hours drinking before, during and after the game. That’s multiple accidents waiting to happen.

Let’s face it: baseball trumps everything these days and all our eggs are in one basket, or should I say… one mitt.

If it is for Mountainstar, Wilson will probably direct traffic in person!
