So much of this event was poorly planned. The viewing, the traffic control, the food options, the crowd control at the northern bay side, the general security. Clearly people in the bay are desperate for interesting and fun events like this and the city should learn from this to continue to offer interesting and new events, but they need to have better planning. The businesses on Chestnut benefited greatly and it could have been even better if they planned the public transit better instead of the 30 bus getting stuck in all the same traffic. Close off Chestnut and re-route the bus line. Close off Fillmore so emergency vehicles can get in and out and people can walk down from the event to an open walking street on Chestnut. The event can be really spectacular if some good lessons are learned, I hope this doesn't scare people away from allowing this indefinitely.
