College Street would be best suited as a pedestrian mall, allowing continued human development in the area and providing a safe, pleasurable environment for citizens without the stress of vehicular traffic, which can use countless other roads.

Love this. Would it make more sense to close Temple? Neither have businesses on them though I guess Temple has churches and college has Yale as apropo for their names.
Or are you suggesting a closure of college between Church and Crown?

I think there's a way to solve for both. It is increasingly likely that automated vehicles will transport and drop off non public transit commuting people in the next decade leading to reduced need for parking and road capacity. It may seem like far away but we can start planning for this future as a city and be ahead of the curve when we get there.
Do I sound like a crazy person?

Who's going to maintain this proposed pedestrian walkway...Yalies?? The city already practically gave Yale a walkway under the Daniels administration. What a ripoff that was! Are you going to plow snow in the winter? Are you going to repair pavement and sidewalks when needed? Are you going to pick up litter and trash? And what about police protection? Is Yale PD going to be responsible? And medical and fire emergencies?
Just because it would be convenient for you doesn't make it justifiable. Run the numbers, kiddo!

The good news is that it HAS changed dramatically in the last twelve years!
We're now one of the higher non car commuting small cities in the Country and bicycles and pedestrians are prolific.
Amongst my co-workers roughly 70% of them do not take a car to work.
