Exactly, we used to have those every year in Montreal. Downtown would be completely closed for motor vehicles. The first year, it was so refreshing, people were smiling and relaxing. Then the next year people started to get pissed as they realised blocking cars from going somewhere would not magically spawn buses and metro stations. The year after they reduced the perimeter, then the schedule, then the perimeter again, to a point where it is now rather pointless. It is now this day of the year when you might be late at work because they closed a few blocks and put some grass and electric car demonstrations on that street that is almost always pedestrian anyways.
