The bottleneck to get up/down those stairs. *shudder* I get claustrophobic just thinking about it. This is such a good decision.
So I assume now Lyft and Uber will have to pickup in the regular traffic area?
Yes, they won't be able to get past the barricade. Only shuttles and cars with con center parking can get through. Thankfully, both the Hilton Bayfront and MMM are accessible for Uber/Lyft. I usually got picked up there anyway since the front on Harbor was so darn busy.
I kinda like the massive s**t show that is the front of the convention center. It's part of the experience for me ;D
Top of the list was the decision to shut down Harbor Drive to motorists for the first time ever. The normally heavily trafficked boulevard was closed between First Avenue and Park Boulevard to all vehicular traffic, except for emergency vehicles and shuttle buses. The net effect was to widen the area directly in front of the convention center to only those pedestrians with badges, also a change from previous years.“I’m a 24-year Comic-Con vet and for the first time in so long, I had so much fun at this convention,” said Romeo Tayloga. “This year I have no complaints. And the Harbor Drive closure, will that be the norm going forward. Please?”Rogers, who normally says little during the talk-back sessions, choosing instead to listen and take notes, said more feedback is needed before making a decision for next year. “There are months of meetings to come, looking at how well that worked, what were the manpower resources versus. the past, unanticipated problems,” Rogers said. “For all I know, everyone in the Gaslamp is writing their councilman saying it was the dumbest idea of all.”Gil Cabrera, president of the San Diego Convention Center Corp. board and a fan of Comic-Con, said Sunday that the center supports closing Harbor Drive again when Comic-Con returns.
