I'm all for shutting down roads for fests (like Lilac) but only if the demand is there.

Basing an event around the idea of shutting down a main road for no reason is dumb.
I still don't get the disdain for this. They're trying to start a new festival (or whatever you want to call this "flow" of people not driving). What the heck is the big deal? A Sunday in August. OMFG, my SUNDAY commute down Memorial is going to take an extra couple of minutes.
C'mon, when the resident road rager is ok with a road closure, you've really got to think about what you're getting upset about.
