Piazza Duomo goes pedestrian only Sunday

I am a little fuzzy on the details - like the mention of no bikes! But this Sunday Piazza Duomo goes pedestrian only. It seems to be quite a big deal - but I wonder what everyone is going to do when they start to lay the tram tracks down (the tram is supposed to come along the north side of the Duomo and turn up Via dei Servi to Piazza San Marco)? Also it is definitely going to change several bus routes. There is a PDF file of the changes here. There will be a free concert Sunday evening in the Duomo as part of the celebration, and the Palazzo Vecchio will also be open until midnight. More details on the schedule of events here.

So did you go to the celebrations? What do you think? the busses are going to be a mess, but I still feel really positive about it.
Have you seen the photos and report I put on arttrav? Sorry for putting in a link, but it's relevant!

Hi Alex,
I was out for a walk around 6PM and the whole area was just packed. My mother-in-law and her friend made the concert and said it was fantastic but brief - and that the line to get in went almost all the way around the Duomo.
