When money and upset citizens collide !!!
Described by some as a "tweaking" of the rules. To be considered at public meetings. But, there is a lot of money potentially on the line when hundreds of thousands of bikers with American cash currency in their blue jeans arrive every March.
Considering:
- Allowing people to rent lawns for parking lots.
- Regulatory standards for the temporary business that set up shop during Bike Week.
- Possible noise or traffic ordinances.
- Anything possible. For instance, one commissioner proposed eliminating outside vendors. That brainstorm occurred 12 years ago. And apparently was disposed of quite expeditiously. Since huge numbers come in to sell, make money, and supply the invading horde with everything imaginable, and some things that are not.
Reports indicate these types of changes started way back in the 1980s when crowd numbers exploded and gangs infiltrated some parts of Bike Week.
Any changes supposedly wouldn't take place until next year.
The idea...to manage, but not kill the golden Bike Week, er' goose
