Imagine all of Beacon Street in Brookline with no cars

The entire street will be shut to cars on Sunday, May 31 for the Brookline Bike Parade, which begins at 12:30 p.m.

Street closing

Just to avoid confusion and wide spread panic, Beacon Street is not closed all day, only during the parade, which I'm guessing should be about 1/2 hour -- 15 minutes eastbound, then 15 minutes westbound.

Wow

What a great reason to inconvenience motorists.

Ah yes....

Much like flatulence after a full plate of beans, so comes the snarky wingnut comment from our little Willy the Tulip. The street is closed for less than an hour…on a Sunday! The Marathon closes 26.2 miles for a day. First Night closes Boylston for the afternoon. And if we are lucky enough, we will have closed streets to honor the Sox and the Patriots this year. "Inconvenience motorists"?? Do you speed up when you see the elderly and handicapped in crosswalks?

Ultimately, I think the arc

Ultimately, I think the arc of history and events beyond our control are going to "inconvenience" motorists in a way that is unimaginable to you right now.
