    But a barge can only be anchored on one side of the river at a time…it’s not a bridge!

    You’ll need a tugboat, too. A barge ain’t going anywhere on its own. And pushing it slowly through the river in downtown is going to cause trouble for the many other boats – commercial and otherwise – that use that waterway. And you sure as hell can’t take a barge north of North Avenue. I was hoping the website would have more (or any) logistical information on this idea.

    Idea that’s not needed… we have plenty of unused public space… next.
