Exactly. Remember that when this was first announced there was no "Bow River Flow" in the plan. There was no plan beyond "let's close two lanes of Memorial every Sunday in August."

It wasn't until people started asking why they were going to close the road that someone actually came up with a plan for an event surrounding the closure, and it was also reduced to one Sunday afternoon rather than every Sunday afternoon.
