Murphy Avenue in Sunnyvale gets it right on some weekends, when it is closed for traffic. It is primarily a pedestrian street and only a few people (who deserve contempt IMHO) ever drive or try parking there. By the way, anyone knows what prevents from closing Murphy for cars? I'm seeing attempts to do that http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_18390412 http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_18390412 but no progress so far. It looks like some business (cafe) owners oppose that. Should we try obtaining their names and advice them not to oppose closing Murphy for cars?
