Already done with the Sun article above. No mention of a festival, not even the concept of one. Just a "lets close the road four times and see what happens."
You are also assuming common sense from someone considered one of the worst aldermen in the city, which is a pretty big stretch.
Seriously, if it even existed in anyone's mind at the time, all Farrell had to do was say "We're envisioning closing Memorial to hold a new festival." THAT is the common sense thing to do.
And if she had, there would still be people bitching about the road closure regardless, but more people would have been asking "what kind of festival?"
She had no idea what she would do with the open road, she just knew she wanted it closed to traffic. Her very own comments prove this out.
