Is it? Or is that your perception of it?
Dru Farrell's ward has already seen other festivals block off 10th street and/or Kensington Road, two of the most popular roads into downtown with relatively high traffic density. particularly, the 10th street / Kensington Road / Memorial Drive corridor is of particular concern because of it's crunch space, but every year we see things like Salsa Fest effectively shut it down, and without much inconvinience.
I really have a hard time Farrell is trying to stick it to suburbinates. She's trying to elevate her own ward (which she should be doing) and trying to give Calgary more of a community feel.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Nothing.
