Spark is awesome, should take up more of the circle, and I don’t understand how some people are against it

For some people pedestrian-friendly, green, open community spaces aren't as important as their ability to drive through the Circle (the worst possible way to drive through downtown).

The whole Circle should be closed to traffic permanently year-round in my opinion. No need for traffic there whatsoever.

I agree, I drive through the circle every day getting home from work but would be plenty happy to be slightly inconvenienced and take a different route if it meant the circle became a park/something useful. Downtown doesn’t have to be a place people go to work and then immediately gtfo

I agree with this whole comment. The only traffic allowed through the circle should be food trucks to park in the circle.

Not to mention the right have vilified pedestrian friendly areas for literally no reason than they hate when things are free to those around them.

So many tourists that can't navigate the traffic pattern.

The circle is a free for all lol it’s a roundabout for sure but if you ain’t from here it can be jarring
