Mouthbreathers - great debating skills there.
The reason people are upset with this is the fact that they didn't start with an idea for a festival and then assess who road closures would be required. They started with the road closures with no idea of what to do with it.
The Lilac Festival started small and as it grew the necessary road closures grew with it - makes sense.
If they had come with the idea for the "First Annual Kensington Art Walk" and decided to have it on Memorial - great - have at it.
This was someone flexing her administrative muscle to close a major road with no clue what to do with it - once she got approval.
People were stuck in traffic for a long time, and the other trickle down was that traffic on the local neighborhood roads were packed as people looked for short cuts.
Brutal idea, badly executed.
But maybe I'm just a mouthbreather.
