I'm sure people didn't like the Lilac Fest when it was initially suggested, but it's worked out just fine. Same with Salsa Fest.

Those festivals grew naturally - the Lilac fest was a small fraction of its current size. As it grew - so did the closure. It happened naturally based around an actual idea.
This was an alderman wanting to shut down a road (or dramatically reduce it to be picky) for no reason whatsoever.
That's the point - it's a willy nilly closure with nothing behind it. It's another example of how this city runs itself with very poor planning and thought.
