I've explained that. You're the one that refuses to see this. You're the one that's crying about something that takes place miles away from where you live, on a road that has very low volume on the day(s) it is planned.

I just still can't get over the fact that someone actually has an extreme problem with this. It's just a road closure (and only a partial one at that), that didn't in any way put major dents in the traffic flow. Anywhere. In fact, it ENCOURAGED people to use alternate modes of transportation while allowing traffic to STILL FLOW.
This is the same city that shuts down almost half of downtown roads, and subsequently alters bus routes, on a regular Friday morning (a regular BUSINESS weekday morning), every Stampede for a parade. This is a significantly more impactful event than some Bow River Flow festival is. Howcome that isn't be criticized?
Yikes.
