Here's whats getting lost about the whole thing:
It's not just going to be for pedestrians; it's going to be a place for vendors to set up shop for the day. It IS going to help local businesses, whether they're local in Kensington, local in Eau Claire, or local on Edmonton Trail.
And last I checked, the road wasn't CLOSING! It's going to be NARROWING!
And as for Druh going about the whole thing gung-ho, what do you expect? She championed the idea, put it forth to the public, went through endless debate with this, and finally put it forward to Council, who PASSED IT.
What you do you guys want, Rick "I hate life outside of my shell" McIver to bless it with 10 kisses?
Good lord. It's JUST a road closing for one day, and it's NOT construction. Get over it people!
