Summary
A proposal to close a stretch of Avenue P between 20th and 21st Streets near the Hotel Galvez was withdrawn before the meeting, but residents worry it could still go to City Council. They argue the street carries about 1,300 cars a day and is a key east-west alternative to Seawall Boulevard.

Impact analysis
If revived and approved, the Hotel Galvez and its guests would gain safer access between the hotel and its parking area, potentially converted to green space.
Residents who use Avenue P as an east-west route to avoid Seawall traffic would lose a downtown connection to 19th Street.
