I suppose it’s a safety concern but it’s really aggravating that the parade doesn’t go by bars at the east end.
Yes, and the restaurants too. In addition to liability, I would imagine CDOT has a say, too. There’s probably a lot of checks & balances. We’ll see…. Maybe the new route will be just as good of an experience.
