Move vendors to one side

My husband and I enjoy the downtown Cedar Rapids farmers market very much. I never leave without my arms and his full of wonderful local produce and baked goods. Thank heaven for all the talented people who share their goods with us.

I would like to make one suggestion to the market organizers. It would help the flow of traffic if you would put the vendors on only one side of the street. The congestion at the last market was terrible, very hard to make your way through the crowds and sometimes impossible to get to the vendors. Strollers, scooters, and those people who insist on walking four abreast make the pace very slow. If the vendors were on only one side, the crowds could be directed to go in one direction and make the flow less congested.
