Its pretty funny how worked up people are getting over this. I was reading some of the comments people made on the Calgary Herald website, and you'd think the sky is falling or something. I really wonder how many of the people who are crapping the bed over this actually live near Memorial, or would be using Memorial the day of the closure? And for those who do use Memorial and are so convinced that traffic will be so absolutely dreadful that day... use an alternate route! My, what an idea!
I don't get why everyone's got such a hate-on for Druh Farrell. I admit that not all of her ideas are always well thought out or that great, but at least she's innovative and willing to try something new and step outside the grain. Everyone is so afraid of change, and how its going to personally affect them.
Anyways, I think its great that this is going to happen. I'm not sure Memorial was the best choice of location, but I still think the idea as a whole was a good one, and I'd love to see more of this kind of stuff around Calgary.
