How come car “week” is 9 days long? Extra days for set up and clean up? Inquiring minds want to know!

Kate, Project hysterias & traffic portals are going to be intense at this townhall..
many many ( expensive ) cars ( and their wealthy drivers and passengers ), maybe more than ever, will be parading down highway 1, as always, and where pray tell will the necessary toilet facilities be located to accommodate the increase ?
porta-potties even?
can't take their money without the other aspects.....
heck, we are not even dealing with the present tourism load.
who gains ? who does not gain ? who pays ?
the BS Marathon covers their impact, how about Car Week ?
Good point, Richard. If the Marathon can cover their impacts, why can’t Car Week? It brings in enough money.
I have heard the CarWeek is the largest single financial input that happens to the area, way way WAY beyond what the Marathon brings. ( hah ! running shoes vs Ferraris ? ) beyond golf tournaments, beyond Jazz Fest.
soooo....? step up, beeyatches. pay your way. try a bit of win-share if not win-win. MoCo gets how much increase in various tax receipts? TOT, sales...
I know, preaching to the choir here, but still.
Any event that closes local schools due to traffic needs to be scaled back.
Carmel Unified School District now cancels school on the Friday of Car Week because it had become such a problem getting kids home after school.
Can we have a “Locals Week” where there is not an event on the Monterey Peninsula or County?
I find it interesting that this meeting is being held at 9:30 am on a Wednesday, when a good portion of the people who are affected by Car Week traffic will be at work.
