I just don't see why Bow Flow is any different than any other event street closure.
4th street, 17th ave & 10th street in Kensington for the salsa festival made sense because there were plenty of small businesses along those streets that benefited from having a foot traffic only event that attracted Calgarians from all parts of the city.

Memorial drive? Could you even name any businesses along Memorial Drive that would benefit from foot traffic?
