How soon before speculate as to reason.

A 27 year career with Peak and several other positions before a guy can’t just retire? 
 

The reason is he has accomplished what he feels he needs to and would like to relax and enjoy life a little.

I would imagine all summer events will be cancelled because there's just no way to know what will be allowed this summer, and you can't plan things on a week or even a month's notice. Next summer will be full normal, no question....

Folk Festival officials are encouraging fans to save the dates of August 13, 14 and 15, 2021 for anticipated main stage concerts on a much smaller scale.

They could have multiple dates in the fall. Fall ain't cold like it used to be.

Yes, was always fun but I'm thankful and hoepful that they get a new home. Every since Bill's passing, they've struggled to keep it open. 

Fingers crossed, a new permanent home can be found.  

 

and the Pandemic sure as hell hasn't helped matters

In most jurisdictions, this would lead to fewer accidents and better traffic flow. However, it will inevitably be clogged up by the d-bag who stops in the merge lane and waits for all traffic to pass, just like in every other interchange or merge lane in the city.

 

But, I know of many who travel on Hwy 3 to commute, so it will hopefully make things safer and easier for them.

100% agree. Not only should you get a ticket for being a moron, but you should also have your licence taken away.

I agree but the city could really aid in this by being consistent in design. Take the corner of Lagimodiere and Grassie. Westbound Grassie to Northbound Lag has a great yield/merge lane, likely 300M or so. Eastbound Grassie to Southbound Lag, direct spill in to 80km/hr traffic. Seriously WTF?!?!?

That intersection is just a mess and needs to redone correctly...
