CARS TRAVELING ON THE HISTORIC SANTA FE PLAZA MAY BECOME A THING OF THE PAST. IN WHAT HE'S CALLING A "PEOPLE TO THE PLAZA" INITIATIVE, MAYOR JAVIER GONZALES IS PROPOSING THAT THE PLAZA BE CLOSED TO VEHICLE TRAFFIC.
THAT'S ALREADY THE CASE ON PALACE AVENUE IN FRONT OF THE PALACE OF THE GOVERNORS. THE MAYOR'S PROPOSAL WOULD ALSO BAN CARS AND TRUCKS FROM LINCOLN AVENUE, SAN FRANCISCO STREET AND OLD SANTA FE TRAIL.
MAYOR GONZALES FORMALLY INTRODUCED THE MEASURE BEFORE THE SANTA FE CITY COUNCIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE COUNCIL HAS YET TO VOTE ON IT.
