^ As the Blues fest location is confirmed I am wondering if the structure called Klondike Park is going to be a permanent fixture onsite.

Administration recommends establishing a downtown entertainment district on Rice Howard Way this summer. This would allow patrons to purchase food and alcohol from the street’s restaurants and bring it into the street, which would be closed to vehicles. The program would run from June to August. The original plan was to close the street to vehicle access on Fridays and Saturdays. But after receiving public feedback, the city said the program would only run on Saturdays because stakeholders were concerned about noise, maintaining parking, and vehicle access. The street would be closed from 7am on Saturdays to 10am on Sundays. The bylaw to establish a downtown entertainment district is set to be reviewed by council’s community and public services committee on April 29. The committee could then recommend council votes on the bylaw at a future city council meeting.

Rice Howard way does not need another place that sells liquor. It's so close to all the other places on like (visits previous thread) like that darn liquor store now setting in in the vacant CRU.

^ Good start - if it works and there is proper enforcement I would want it expanded
