“This is a positive boon for business, having the promenade closed for 12 hours will encourage more people to come down, it will be safer, and people will have more room to enjoy the Gaslamp,” Executive Director at The Gaslamp Quarter Association Michael Trimble said.“It creates more traffic for our business and people walking in the streets more comfortable,” General Manager at Karina’s Cantina Gaslamp said.
