Sunday video: The beginning of a car-free Pike Place market?

On April 23, the city of Seattle and the Pike Place Market Public Development Authority (PDA) took a step in which Seattle Urbanists had long promoted: they began to test what it would look like to enable fewer vehicles to reach Seattle's most famous public market. The changes that were triggered by a month -long construction project along the Stewart Street, which had caused a headache for the driver, are part of a pilot project that is to be continued indefinitely and could prove to be a model for the development of the market in the long term.

In our Sunday video, the best-side cycling underlines the changes on the ground that lead to more walk along the Pike Place … and less than from tourists who ask themselves why we would ever have the drivers directed in the middle of the market. It remains to be seen whether pilot forgetting merges into permanent changes, but at the moment the upgrade has proven to be a big draw for people looking for more people in downtown Seattle.
