Does anyone plan to take advantage of this Saturday's closing of Lyndale Avenue to automotive traffic from 1000 to 1400?

I'm just trying to remember to keep my business away from that part of the city this weekend.

Did you want to? We could if we get up and going early.

Where are they going to put the cars?

What is the point of the closure? Ride bikes? Construction?

So people can mill about doing fun things with no cars to run them over.

The point, as I take it, is too try out this European Columbian thing where the street is closed to automobiles/buses/etc, and turned over to bicyclists and pedestrians.

Given that it's Minnesota, and given the time of year, construction is also a given. :-)
