It's time for your side of the argument to back up this assertion. Common sense tells all of us that they were trying to close lanes because something was already being planned.

You've got a collection of logical fallacies going here.

How so? I've explained the process, this festival isn't any different than any other one, other than the fact that its new.

But don't kid yourself, Farrell had no clue what to do with the road she wanted shut down for four weekends in a row. None whatsoever

. Nonsense, as I already explained. She said at the time of the debate that it was for a place to let people walk along the roads, so more people could come out, AS OTHER CITIES HAVE DONE. Sure, it's not an urgent reason to shut down a road, but neither is any other festival.

The festival itself was a great idea, and I commend that group for, after the fact, attempting to find a use for this useless closure.

Evidence please, that it only occurred after the fact.

That is not what happened here. Ultimately, this little festival could easily have been carried out without closing the road.

How could a festival that's about opening roads to bikes and pedestrains when the lanes aren't needed proceed without without closing lanes?
