No, there was no motion by Druh to have a closure, as there is no need to. That kind of stuff doesn't go through council. Like I said, You or I can go down to city hall today and pay for lanes to be closed on Memorial Drive.
This is the only motion relating to this issue. The opposers tried to use their power in council to prevent this specific festival from happening. Similar events close down more roads with greater consequences to drivers quite often in this city. It made no sense to single this one event out and say it couldn't happen. Especially when Memorial drive could easily handle Sunday afternoon traffic even with two lanes closed. Like I said, certainly not a precedent that council wants to set.
