Hard to do if Columbia St is closed.
Well, more specifically, UW traditionally closes Columbia to automotive traffic from Westmount to Hagey. The playing field and various other fields between the lake and Hagey are all pedestrian Valhalla while still allowing access from the East to the UW Visitor parking lots just north and south of Columbia.
If Columbia's still closed at the tracks as well as Westmount to Hagey, then the only access to those lots is via Ring Road or Bearinger. Neither can move the number of cars Columbia could.
If they aren't closing from Westmount to Hagey (I haven't seen any signs) to allow access via the West, then there might be an increase in car-pedestrian interactions along that stretch of Columbia tomorrow. Especially just after the fireworks display completes (when it'll be dark).
Luckily, the moon's almost full, so that'll help with visibility.
