With the exception of delivery vehicle & public and community service vehicles, most automobiles in major cities are there because the lack of inner city housing/good public transport/amenity in walking distance has made driving in rather than walking/ cycling / PT commuting in more desirable.

Congestion, lack of parking, and all out inconvenience for drivers, coupled with excellent alternatives = the solution.

People have been proving this concept for years, in many cities, including Seattle. Forgetting whether it is a good idea, or makes sense when so close to so many actual and wonderful parks, the giant pat on their own backs seems unwarranted.

When skateboarders take over a parking lot to grind curbs, or kids pull out a couple of nets and play street hockey, they don't call themselves "urban activists" and bust out a facebook page to congratulate themselves.

This is so pretentious it hurts.

When you know you're right and everybody else is wrong, who needs process? Just do it. Like the commercial.

Oh wait the opposite of that.

So the cars didn't have access for a few hours, get a grip.

Keep Capitol Hill weird.
