Closing down the old city is to make the Kotel and the old city more reachable, and the facts on the ground prove that it works, citizens, buses and taxis don’t have to be stuck in hours of traffic anymore.
At the same time the amount of mispallelim is not lower, after all most of them anyhow came by bus or taxi since you can’t park at the Kotel without special permits.

And as a side effect the inhabitants of the old city are safer because the ambulances that have to evacuate them when they chalila need it don’t get stuck in the traffic (I have seen it multiple times that ambulances got stuck and that someone had to run down to get the cops to move the traffic).

But of course all of this doesn’t exist when you have an agenda and the only thing that does is “The evil chilonim are trying to encourage idol worship”.

Also how does giving a name to a square make it a place of idol worship?

The askan is Chaim Miller, not Shlomo. No need to post this, just correct the article.
