Thanks for posting the pics. We were there early evening after the ECMA event was over, and it was still quite busy with many people out and about enjoying the area. The widened sidewalks have improved the atmosphere very much and car traffic was minimal along both of those sections of Argyle. There didn't seem to be anybody inconvenienced by this new configuration - I think that motorists have realized there is no available parking and have adjusted their habits accordingly - no harm no foul.
I feel I can now judge this layout as definitely a plus - a huge improvement over the street being lined with parked cars and a steady stream of traffic driving along it as had been the situation in the past. A 'win' for the city for sure.
I did notice that it was quite windier near the Carleton than anywhere else downtown, but maybe it was just the prevailing winds that day.

Yes, it was a Guinness
We managed to keep some of the sun for a little while as well which was nice.
I also noticed the wind, but if you went around the city that day it was windy everywhere. The harbour had whitecaps on it.
