Rallye Quebec ran a stage in an industrial park (Parc Technologie in Quebec City and the town of Merritt tried to get the PFR organisers to run through the town streets but the organisers (wisely) declined because they didn't think they could safely secure the roads. (not enough bodies) There is an industrial park in Calgary that is closed off for bicycle races, and we've seen roads shut down for open wheel races in Vancouver, Toronto and many other places. The reality is that for a 'not for profit' rally type event these venues are going to be long shots and a lot of work to get and operate. Logistics would be huge.

It's done on sundays where normally nobodys working. As mentioned by Andrew, accessability makes it a big hit. Brgrds Brian
