I don't understand Bow River Flow hate. Every festival/event has to start somewhere. City administrators have to look into proposed road closures. They would have reviewed whether it affected traffic to an adverse amount.
The majority of traffic on Memorial was probably people driving by to check out how bad traffic was, thereby making the traffic themselves.
Farrel didn't plan it, it as advocating for it. Essentially, people hated it just because Farrell's name was attached to it. There are lots of road closures for various reasons all the time that no one ever complains about.
