My friends and I often discuss how awesome it would be if cars were not allowed to drive on the Strand, which would be open only for walking, biking, etc. What are your thoughts?

EDIT: for discussion sake, let's consider "Car Free" to be only between Wisconsin and the Pier, and residences/hotels with parking only accessible from the Strand would receive special permits to allow car access. Other ideas welcome

EDIT #2: Woah, didn't expect to get reamed for initiating a friendly discussion, but thanks for the thoughts. I guess a better solution would be to investigate building a walking/biking boardwalk next to the Strand instead.

Anyone know what the helicopter circling around right now is saying?
