Simple, rent-a-cops can't arbitrarily stop traffic. So if NYRR wanted to hold an illegal event on public streets, they could do as you say, otherwise it's a pretty stupid idea.
Well traffic can probably be stopped if city workers put up barricades and 'road closed' signs and then walk away for the day. But if you want enforcement, and more importantly, someone to maintain the peace on public property, then you need police.
