Do Honolulu "event permits" force everybody else off the public roads and paths?
I do not know of a marathon that does not close down at least half the road. Lots of other events close down roads, or trails such as triathlons, parades, mountain bike races, road cycling races, charity walks/runs, etc.

The police road and path blocks and the guard rails put up for the event. Is Burlington really that back woods?
