The episode discusses the push to re-open downtown State Street to vehicular traffic with small business owner Colleen Macey and architect Cass Ensberg.

Small business owner Colleen Macey and architect Cass Ensberg join the genial host to discuss the latest push to re-open downtown State Street to vehicular traffic, as the ad hoc State Street Business Alliance has launched a letter and petition campaign urging City Council to repeal legislation that formalized the street closure, which was originally enacted and intended only as a Covid-era emergency measure.
