Flagged in Issue 6 without resolution. Street closures implemented for event activation frequently revert once the triggering event ends, and whether Granville Street's stays in place is a direct test of whether temporary pedestrianization built real constituency support. Downtown Van BIA initiated the closure itself, which is the model Issue 5 identified as durable: a district that funded and organized a street closure rather than hosting whatever foot traffic a nearby stadium produced. An asset the district controls can be sold to a sponsor again next year without a new municipal permission. An asset the city controls has to be re-permitted every time. Whether the closure survived past the final whistle is the first read on which category Granville Street falls into.
