Everett
Street closure draws objection
The Everett City Council on Wednesday delayed action on a street-closure request after a downtown store owner said closing streets on Saturdays for festivals hurts business.
The Snohomish Artist Guild asked the city to close Colby Avenue between Everett and Pacific avenues for its second annual Pop &Arts Street Festival Sept. 10-12.
Renee Quistorf, owner of Renee’s Contemporary Clothing, 2820 Colby Ave., said the closure for last year’s festival reduced business at her store. Quistorf suggested that street closures only be approved on major retail streets such as Colby on Sundays and holidays.
“Let’s not make it difficult for people to spend their money on Saturdays,” she said.
Joel Starr, a member of the advisory board for the Pop &Arts Festival and owner of the Flying Pig Brewing Co., said festivals help downtown businesses by giving them greater exposure. He suggested a compromise that would compress the festival into two blocks instead of four.
