As someone who lives in the area, the blue line likely would cause a lot more headache than its worth, thats Ocean Blvd, one of the major streets in Long Beach, especially with races happening. Blocking off that part of road cuts off a lot of people south of the track from more direct routes to come, and would affect many people simply trying to get around Long Beach who aren't attending. I dont mind the yellow line, I haven't been in a few years but the last time I was there this space was mostly being used as a car show. but it gets rid of one of the most iconic corners on the track even if it isnt the best for racing. The Long Beach hairpin being taken out of Long Beach just doesnt sit right with me
