Commercial Drive Open Streets festivities cancelled

Sunday, March 14, 2010

Open Streets, one of Vancouver’s four recurring car-free Summer Spaces events, closed Commercial Drive from Venables Street to First Avenue and was supposed to run on Sundays throughout July and August.

Craig Ollenberger, a director with Car Free Vancouver, said the decision to cancel the remaining Commercial Drive Open Streets festivities was made after the majority of businesses said they were not interested in seeing it continue.

“It was a festive and fun environment,” Ollenberger said. “It’s too bad it didn’t get a chance to grow ... but we figured it was better to respect the concerns of business.
