There was no significant traffic in the core until Monster Truck was over.  Around 11 PM the show let out and there was a half hour of north-south grid lock. East-west streets were on constant flashing yellow, and north-south on constant flashing red.   There was no getting past the east-west flow. v Cops should have been put at each intersection, or a 5 minute east-west green light and 1 minute north-south green light.  

As expected, business was off by 70%.  There was no appreciable traffic between 6 PM and 10:30 PM, and on-street parking was available.  customers could have easily driven downtown, and found parking. Another hose job by COJ and the local media inflicted on Downtown Jacksonville.   I will call Lt. Propper on Monday.  I've found him to be very reasonable in the past.

You have no control on what I say, I suggest YOU move on.

Funny comment from a TU reporter on Twitter...

The #monsterjam show audience does not know the difference in a still and video camera. Once again, that foamy thing is a microphone.

At midnite State St was still backed up from I95 to Liberty St.  Adams St appeared to be heavy as well.  Almost no one on Beaver St. but red flashing traffic signals may have dissuaded folks from moving over to it.
