Wasn't talking about this event - just the underlying problems.

That's your opinion. If this thread is any indication, the Bow River Flow event was a polarizing issue, with people have strong feelings on both sides. You might consider it a bad idea, but many others enjoyed it.

I already recognized people make disagree. I dont know why people keep acting like I'm not saying there can be a range of opinions

How do you know that a majority of the people living in Druh Farrell's ward, those who are most directly affected by this were opposed to the Memorial closure? For all we know, she was acutely listening to the will of her constituents who wanted to see this event happen. It seems to me that the people who are complaining the loudest don't even live in the area and probably wouldn't even use Memorial on a lazy summer Sunday afternoon anyway.

Again - I was speaking about core problems. And in my opinion - no she/they didn't listen to the public in this case. Again you can disagree if you want - but I've talked to a LOT of people not happy with this both in the community and around other parts of the city.
