I have to wonder where all the traffic went while this went on and how that impacted residents on side streets. Lyndale is, or was, a major thoroughfare and principal alternative route to 35W, and as such, is hardly appropriate for such a "festival," which could easily have been held on Aldrich Avenue. As the center of a huge metropolitan area, the whole state, Minneapolis is always going to draw a lot of traffice, as long as there is a downtown, or culture there. And the population keeps growing. Traffic will never go away, and has to be accommodated. Fighting traffic means hurting the city's economy. And once people are driven away, they may never come back. It doesn't take much. And after all the rioting and destruction of the last few years, much more has to be done to draw people back.
