Liberate Lower Magazine Street

Here is a website dedicated solely to fixing the idiotic problem that has closed down Magazine Street for years. It is unacceptable for any street to be shut down that long, even a tiny dead end street much less a major shopping and commuting street. This fiasco is a perfect example of the lack of leadership in this city. I understand there are different aspects to this dispute such as historic preservation, street and drainage work, litigation, etc., but a leader would somehow cut through all that and find a solution. How much business are Magazine Street merchants losing because their street has been shut down for years?
