The point is, that there is no one who decides whether an event is "good enough" or not. You or I could go apply to close the same portion of Memorial Drive any single Sunday we wanted, all we would have to do is go down to city hall and fill out the form, and pay for it.
Tying the Bow River Flow festival (and the related lane closures) in any way to city hall or to any alderman in a positive or negative way is just simply not accurate. There's nothing City Hall can do to prevent it - at least without opening a HUGE can of worms.
