Are pedestrians being discriminated against again?

I'm going out to inspect myself shortly, but reports from a pedestrian on the ground say that Eglington St, anyway, is no different to normal.

"Dunta" appears to have been totally redefined.

Two fixed messages. alternating, as below. The word "closed" was not used. So I think that "dunta" must mean something else - maybe half-closed :-)

Did it work?
Was there reduced car traffic in the City Center?
Or were the road closures ignored?
Does it make a difference as it was done outside of rush hour?

I wonder if they could pay the paramotoring guy to fly around with a banner announcing these things in future?
