I still don't buy the argument that the festival was only planned after the closure debate. That's not to say of course, that every detail of the festival was planned, of course not.

They had planning in motion, went to the transportation dept WELL before the date to get the road closures booked, and that's when someone found out and made a big deal out of it, when there really is no big deal.
As far as I understand from the link Resolute 14 posted, Dru wanted the road closed for every sunday in August so that people could enjoy using the roadways down by the river. There was nothing mentioned about the Bow River Flow festival. If the festival had come forward about wanting the road closures, i would have no issue with it. My issue is that Dru decided that she wanted to do this without any reasoning, at least no public reasoning.
