Hey, So how much do they have to pay to shut down a public street for so long? Or is it a free service for major corporations that want a piece of “local” downtown?
the road is likely to remain shut down until around Christmas. This has nothing to do with an agreement with the hotel. The contractor ordered it to be shut down due to construction vehicles entering the work zone, delivering materials and exiting the construction zone.
Making a distinction between “the hotel” and “the contractor building the hotel” is just semantics, though … the real question is why a frequently-traveled section of road can just be closed off for three or four months while a private project is underway. Does anyone remember if construction of the Indigo closed things off in the other direction for anywhere near as long?
