NOLA has an unique reputation for an American city. Having no cars drive on this street gives people a great place to stroll

Walking down Royal Street has always been one of my favorite activities in this city. The lure of live music, a different sound on every block, made the street enticing. Being able to stroll carefree from boutique, to gallery, to coffee shops is a joy that will be thoroughly missed in this city. Don't let the unique culture of this city disappear. Bring back the pedestrian mall.

They are one of the main reasons people come to the city. It's the experience people come for.

We are far more likely to get murdered by one of our many local criminals than any chance of a terrorist attack. Music and Culture is PRECISELY what the attacks in Paris were meant to target and diminish. You are playing right into their agenda while still failing at keeping us safe from the dangers that lurk on our doorsteps. I'm way more scared of a 13-year-old with a pistol in Nola than I am of Islamic extremists!

One of the top joys of visiting New Orleans is to enjoy the performers performing on Royal Street. I hope this can be restored.

I believe that the truly talented performers on Royal street are the heart and soul of New Orleans. Let the music fill the streets .

Seeing yes ma'am on this very street was by far the best experience I had on my first visit to New Orleans. It would be a shame if others were denied the same pleasure.

Street music is an integral part of the New Orleans experience. Shame on the legislators not appreciating the artists that drive the soul of the city and it's culture!

You can't close Royal st walk. It's one of the main reason I go to New Orleans.
