I'm not a fan of it, but it's not like it's a big deal at all.
It's not the end of the world, but you cannot get out of Sunnyside that day. We tried last year, and everyone cuts through Sunnyside (9th Ave) to try and short cut the event. We tried to get out of our own community to do something else and couldn't unless we went on foot, it was a total gong show and poorly planned when it came to the needs of Sunnyside.

Seriously, block off access to 9th Ave so residents can actually escape if they want to. I tried to even go for a walk, but we just sucked in idled car fumes as we walked down the street.

Also, I gave multiple examples, I didn't just say I disagree because of that one event. It is just one of many bad ideas she comes up with, I also cited the 10th St bike box. Others have mentioned the removal of fluoride in the water.

If you read my whole post, you will see I am just saying she doesn't deserve bouquets of flowers thrown at her feet as the article states. Yes, she doesn't deserve all the hate she gets, but she is far from blame free. That was my whole point, some of the criticism is fair game.
