Ever been to Montreal in the summer? They close some of the busiest streets in the city for expressly this reason and it — rules.
For some god forsaken reason Winnipeg can no longer even do this for one day.
The Biz needs to get it together and do this yesterday.

The Biz wants this for Osborne just as much as anybody. Though the city's perceived value of Osborne as a traffic artery makes any proposal that hinders traffic a guaranteed rejection. All of the Osborne redesign talk I've heard has efficient traffic flow as a top priority, made requisite by the city.
