Construction Killing Roncesvalles as Sales Suffer, Queen of Tarts and Other Stores Close

Posted by Rick McGinnis / December 16, 2009

A look down Roncesvalles near the Revue CinemaIt's conventional wisdom in the city nowadays that downtown will never see another foot of subways built, and that streetcars are here to stay, and it follows that projects like the one currently finishing on St. Clair West and begun on Roncesvalles Avenue will be regular events.

In case you missed it, the streetcars stopped running on the length of Roncesvalles at the end of the summer, so that the city could begin a two-phase project. The replacement of aging sewer and water mains will be completed this winter, and the replacement of streetcar tracks will commence in the spring, complete with traffic-choking "bumps" in the sidewalks at transit stops, to accommodate seamless loading of the city's new, low-floor streetcars when they come into service. In the meantime, the merchants on the street are suffering.

Khalid "Karl" Bhukari has served Indian food at Shala-Mar, just across from the Revue Cinema, for 22 years now, and says that just over five months into construction "people are suffering." He's seen business crater, as street parking has disappeared along with any southbound transit, and once-flourishing Christmas party bookings have completely vanished. The city has been less than forthcoming with information, taxes have gone up this year, and the empty storefronts have already started to appear.

"It costs you money to open the door," he says. "I just want to break even now - even after twenty-some years here."

Businesses that were already teetering, like the Second Cup at Neepawa Avenue, were the first to go, and the eatery Boho across from Shala-Mar couldn't weather the first few months of lost trade. Cosa Pizza is gone, and the Mad Gypsy vintage clothing store just up the street is trying to sell the business on its website.

Roncesvalles just north of High Park BoulevardLeonard McCauley is the owner of Pollock's Home Hardware, a neighbourhood stalwart for 54 years, and sits on the local BIA. He says his sales are down 30 per cent so far, with his plumbing supply business the worst hit, thanks to the loss of parking. The BIA has tried to do its best, but it was brought into the process late in the game.

"The only thing the BIA has been able to parcipiate in is the planning," he says, "not so much this portion of the work, but the new sidewalks and streetcar tracks, and hopefully we'll have some say in how they do it physically. They were talking about closing the whole street. Forget about it - you might as well just shoot us all in the head."

The stretch north of High Park Boulevard looks the worst these days - the street north and south of that street are being handled by two different contractors - so it's not surprising that businesses there are hardest hit. When Gary Kirk opened A Good Read over eight years ago, he gave the neighbourhood something it desperately needed - a good bookstore - but the construction has hit him harder than many.

Walk-in trade is down between 70 and 80 per cent, Kirk tells me, and he's had to lay off all his staff except himself, and when the next phase begins in the new year, he says he's going to cut down his hours to just three days a week. "They've been keeping me posted in terms of construction, but I can't believe there's absolutely no parking in front of my store in December. I mean, when do they expect me to make those sales up - January? As it stands now it's been a Darwinian exercise for local business - we'll see who's left."

Another view of the Roncesvalles construction siteAs for Stephanie Pick, she's closing her bakery, The Queen Of Tarts, next week. She insists the construction isn't her main motivation, and says that it just felt like time to do something else, and that it was better to do it now, before the Christmas rush dissolved in the hard winter clearly ahead. She complains that the city has stopped basic services like street cleaning and clearing utility poles, and says that not even a tax break would save many businesses over the course of the two years of construction they're facing. "Even if they gave us a tax break, if your sales are down 30 per cent I don't think a tax break of $3000 is going to help you over the course of a year."

Not sure why Queen of Tarts was included in your interviews given she's not leaving because of the construction primarily, but that she's gotten bored with the concept she's running.

I'm going to stop in at Buddha Dog and see how they're coming along - last time we spoke was just before the construction started and he had reorganized his expansion plans (suspending adding a patio until after the construction is completed) to account for the loss of traffic.

One thing we can be thankful for on Roncesvalles is that the construction itself is proceeding apace and has thusfar been very well organized and carried out, unlike the St. Clair mess. There is still northbound access for vehicles and the TTC is still running buses in that direction.

As a neighbourhood resident I have been trying very hard to give Roncey my business as much as possible during the construction period.

Ultimately, while businesses without buffers may go away during this challenging time, it's not as if the storefronts will disappear with them, other businesses will spring up in their place. This sort of flux has to be expected when upgrades take place.

As a non-resident of Roncey, I must admit that construction has kept me away at times.

But serious kudos to the crews for moving all of the gear aside for the Polish festival. I was stunned that they pulled that off!

It's the Toronto way: draw out construction long enough to kill half the businesses on the street. Is that the way to get a streetcar-supportive BIA? Kill off your critics?

Regardless of what you think of streetcars - an epic argument to be had there - you cannot expect any business to swallow costs for a half-year or more, while losing most of their income. A few weeks or a pair of months would be more like. All of the 'experts' will say that is impossible, except I have see it done in Tokyo... as the norm. Yes, with projects MORE complicated than this.

I want more transit of all varieties, but I do not think the endless repetition of the St. Clair five-year car crash is a necessity!

I feel terrible for the business owners in both Roncy and St Clair W. I think it's normal for improvements to the area and construction. But there's more going on here.

They have to suffer due to useless city planning that takes a step forward and 5 steps back, TTC and government agencies that are careless about these kind of things, that does not feel the pain they're causing financially for the business owners and their families, and lazy and slow unionized workers.

The government should give these business owners tax breaks or some sort of compensation for loss of business.

I think it's going to take something like this to force the city to accept that large multi-season projects like this can't simply be imposed without supporting the surrounding residents and businesses better - including upfront tax breaks, not making the business come to the brink of (or beyond) bankruptcy first:

I live just up and over from the Ronce and for the past 4 years since moving to the area I have done my best to support the locals. A Good Read, Mad Gypsy and Shala-Mar are all fantastic local businesses I truly hope they can pull through. Not exactly a genius move in the winter of a recession to not only raise local taxes but then to completely disrupt traffic access to this strip. Well done TO, every time I think you couldn't muck up worse...

I just moved to the area two months ago, and love that so many things are accessible on foot, but I guess that is changing. I did not get to see the area pre-construction, but walking about on a Saturday morning, the sidewalks are packed with shoppers.

The lack of southbound traffic is the biggest pain as it makes navigating (in addition to the one ways) a nightmare, especially for those who don't know the area and are trying to shop or visit. Having to walk down to King/Queen to catch the street car is an immense pain, and the TTC is less than helpful. Most bus streetcar drivers do not mention that the line ends at Roncessville, and just expect you to get off and follow other riders. How about some good communication to go with that fare hike?

I am so saddened by this story - I live in the area and it's been a pain, yes (I don't drive so the whole redirecting of the TTC is extremely annoying). I cannot believe that Cosa, QofT, Boho and Mad Gypsy haven't/ won't survive this :-( We do shop locally as much as we can but it takes more than that apparently.

A few stores on your list like the Second Cup were in big trouble a year ago and it was probably the economy that killed them.

The worst thing about this is the lack of southbound transit. I live near the southern end of Ronces, and as far as I'm concerned the subway has become completely useless. The bus is slow going north and less reliable than the streetcars were, and the bus going south is a complete waste of time because it goes down Landsdowne and then sits in the horrendous never-ending Parkdale traffic jam before finally squeezing back up Ronces. I can walk home faster from Dundas West station.

However, I still see loads of foot traffic on Ronces every day. I assume it's those businesses that rely on commuters from other neighbourhoods that are suffering, which is unfortunate.

On the other hand, it's a good time to buy-up some storefront property on what is bound to be a pretty desirable street come 2011.

I always thought Roncesvalles was one of those great local shopping strips. You know, where local residents support local businesses. I wouldn't have thought that a loss of parking spaces would have had a negative impact on such a LOCAL economy. Makes me wonder where the locals have been doing their shopping these days, and why would road construction limit their ability to shop at their local businesses.

Either Roncey isn't as locally supported afterall or all those local residents were driving their cars three blocks to pick up their reading material.

Time to do some serious local promotion business folks. I used to work in a store in the bloor west village. we kept losing business every year. I kept saying, "do some advertising, have a sale, update the website". the owner kept saying, "I know, I know, I know" and never did anything.

I hope this whole experience shows that you have to work for every customer that comes in your store. I can't believe that regular customers wouldn't park their cars on a side street and walk.

I live just a bit west of Roncesvalles but I often walk over to grab a bite to eat or do a bit of shopping. It's a pretty big mess right now, and I'm saddened to hear that local merchants are suffering so greatly. The only silver lining to this story is that the construction does seem to be proceeding more quickly than it did up on St.Clair. Still, the city should try harder to coordinate better with the local BIAs in order to at least attempt to mitigate the damage done to the businesses that are subjected to these types of projects.

In a bit of an unrelated note, the first line of this story was incredibly depressing. I hope that Toronto will one day get its act together enough to build another subway line (or two). And not another white elephant to nowhere in the 'burbs, but something that will actually benefit residents of the city. I get that they're underfunded, but they also suffer from mismanagement and an appalling lack of vision. But until that time, they need to sort out the process for building and repairing streetcar lines - because this clearly isn't working.

While a good post, I find the title a tad misleading as the only named business is The Queen of Tarts, which you then go on to say is not closing due to the construction.

I was unaware of the severity of this situation until last week while taking a cab up Roncesvalles and the driver started telling me about what was going on. I'm saddened by what I've just read and I wish all the best to struggling shop owners this holiday season and beyond. Truly a selfish and poorly thought out decision on the city's behalf.

I live in Roncey and reading this article was both eye-opening and heart-breaking. What drew me to the area was the strong local flavor. It didn't feel like other parts of the city - it had it's own vibe, and that was driven on the strong backs of the unique shops that line the east side of the street.

I find it hard to believe that the heavy impact of the last few months was not foreseen. What did they expect would happen when they effectively shut down the street ON TOP of raising local taxes? Seems cruel and unusual, but entirely intentional. Part of me wonders if city council's eying the area for a nice juicy gentrification project.

Is there a reason that work cannot be focused on a smaller stretch of road at a time? I was on Roncy recently, and there was heavy equipment, dirt and pipes all down the street and it wasn't clear what part was being worked on. I realize there are different types of contractors involved, but how hard can it be to have a rotating schedule - one week we rip out track, then next we lay pipe, then next we resurface, etc. Then move on the next section? Ripping up the entire street and keeping one lane of traffic open for 6-10 months is the worse compromise that pleases no one.

Doesn't seem like any project planning lessons were learned from St. Clair West.

Coza Pizza was sold to new owners who are updating it into a fancier pizza shop with seating, and a couture bridal store on the second floor. They didn't close because of the construction...

Response to GIPoo (HarDeHarHar..real clever name there).
The Roncy shops are locally supported ... and many local patrons walk to these shops (barring extremely heavy purchases of course). But the density in the area is not, by itself, enough to sustain a healthy retail strip. That's why merchants depend on patrons coming from outside the area, either by transit or personal transportation. The sad fact is that most on-street retail strips in Toronto could not sustain themselves with only local traffic. (Compared to 50 years ago, density in many parts of the City has actually gone down given that many homes no longer have boarders, rented units as they once did and families are smaller.) That's why things such as access/parking are critical to the Roncy strip as well as for almost any streetside retail area in the city. The only exeptions to the rule are areas with considerably higher density than the Roncy area.

Too many people think that the city is either being negligent or, worse, that they're intentionally challenging the business area. There is no great consipiracy (too much credit!) and no great fumbling of responsibilities (too little credit!) at the city. I've sat in on these planning meetings. They make these decisions based on their capital investment plan, in consultation with constituents and utilities. I have some experience with this kind of public infrastructure project in Toronto, and I know that the slightest hint of public dissent is enough to derail any public project that isn't an emergency, whether it's City or Toronto Hydro or Enbridge, etc. So this project is being done because it seriously needs to be done. Every neighbourhood gets their turn with this kind of stuff. Personally, I'm thankful the execution of the Roncey plan isn't being horribly bungled like the St. Clair project.

Not that I don't feel bad for struggling businesses but I'm guessing that their businesses would be far worse if streetcars started to derail because of old, broken tacks and stores couldn't open because the water was constantly having to be shut off to fix bursting pipes.

Does construction suck? Yes. But it's a fact of life and it means that for many years business on Roncy won't be interrupted as they'll be enjoying high quality public services.
MLJ / December 16, 2009 at 04:22 pm

I won't dispute the fact that the infrastructure needs work both above and below the surface.
The problem I have is the pace of the project. Given the length of the road at any given time on 90% of it nothing is being done, I'm nearer the northern end of Roncy and have front row seats to the complete lack of movement forward on any given week.
Re: Queen of Tarts, who in their right mind would open a business up on this street with the current state of it? Given the delays on SCW can we expect any different here?

It was either replace the lead water pipes and separate the storm and waste sewers; or let the people drink the lead in the water, ignore the flooded basements in the area, and let the waste mix with the storm waters and contaminate the western beaches.

It's not a question of doing the work, these parts of Toronto have services well over a hundred years old. As the writer indcates above about lead pipes and combined sewers.

But, this City and its incompetent Mayor, Council and Staff have the worst record of planning this kind of work and contract.

Every one of them should be thrown under the streetcar for what they've done to the business on St. Clair and Roncesvalles.

It's all in the planning folks, and our leaders are too selfish and stupid to figure it out.
truth / December 16, 2009 at 05:48 pm

Matt there is a conspiracy - the city doesn't pay any of the costs of bankrupting businesses. This is why streetcars are "cheaper" than subways. If the TTC had to pay the economic damage it did to businesses, as it should, subways would be far cheaper as well as far superior transit options.

The other element of the conspiracy is Vaughan and Giambrone bragging about how they are destroying Toronto's road network. They don't want the city to be accessible to cars and want to choke the life out of Toronto. They think that this will drive density, but it will simply destroy our city of neighbourhoods and make it impossible for Torontonians to visit other parts of the city. Plus there's the minor problem that all last mile deliveries are and will be done by truck.

Stop streetcars, stop the vandalism of our city, stop this intentional destruction of successful neighbourhoods like Roncy.

Toronto needs to change its work habits from "town" to "city" mode.

Towns can get away with long, slow, less expensive projects. Closing down a few roads in a town is no big deal.

Cities inconvenience a lot of people when they shut down anything. Speed of work is important. Let's say the city let a contract to do this Roncesvalles work that required the whole thing to be completed in a month or two. The contractor would have to bring in five times the number of men. Work would go on at night and on weekends. The pre-project planning would take longer, because coordination is more important. Overall it would cost more than the slower version - maybe twice as much.

And the benefits: happier citizens, businesses don't close, everyone keeps paying taxes, and the work is done in 2009 instead of 2011 or whenever. Overall the city gets back a lot of the extra money it paid for the fast construction work.

I can't comment on all the businesses mentioned here, but Boho and Shalamar have never been busy places. I guess the construction is eating a lot of businesses that were teetering on the edge. Cosa Pizza? I'm amazed they lasted so long serving that sh*t-awful chow. Glad to see the back of them.

There are plenty of businesses thriving on Roncy despite the roadworks. Lit are right down in the thick of it. Try getting a table there most afternoons! Film Buff and Cherry Bomb continue to thrive. If you're good at what you do, people come spend money. Simple as that.

I just moved into the neighbourhood in September, so I don't really know what it was like before the construction (though I had visited the area a few times).

Well, here's a novel solution: do away with the damned streetcars! It's an ugly secret that the concrete pitches and heaves in our inclement weather. Whose budget does that fall in? The TTC, or is that part of the roads budget? Oh, fantastic idea: salt, steel and concrete, mix in minus 5 degree weather for 3 months of the year and you have the perfect recipe for this sort of horror every 12-15 years. Brilliant, Toronto.
Church and Adelaide have been closed for months, due to this horror, as well. The TTC has to get off their addiction to streetcars - they don't work in northern climes, boys!
At least the MTO has gotten away from concrete highways, ala California, and replaced them with asphalt which is far easier to repair and resurface.
But, no, the usual suspects will drag out BS statistics and we will adhere to the quaint notion that streetcars are good for tourism and more 'efficient:' yeah, as long as the true costs of these damned rail repairs are buried somewhere else.

Nobody mentioned the fact that the city unions are also to blame for going on strike in the first place - that elegantly delayed work by about a month or so.

If you don't like streetcars or trams, move to a boring city without them ... like Vaughan.

The other cheap shot at unionized TTC labour is irrelevant, however, since it's private contractors who are doing the work. And given the amount of work getting done, the pace isn't as bad as you make it sound.

I appreciate the article but should point out that my store has only been here two and a half years not eight. Today I've been sitting in my store for three hours so far and have sold one book.

Bad as the situation has been for me I really feel for the flooring and carpet guys north and south of me - I mean who would buy flooring when they might have to walk a couple of blocks to get it their car?

The restaurants are empty most nights and I have lost the traffic in my store that came from people going in and out for dinner - the lack of parking and southbound service just drives people to other streets.

Upgrading the water service - well its a bit of a joke since you either have to pony up $2 grand to replace the last two feet leading into your building (the city won't replace that) - or you will still have lead in the system. I can't affort to pay given that its taking all I have right now to stay open so the rest of their effort makes little sense.

Attempts to deal with the construction company about merchandise damaged during their work have all been ignored.

I guess what I don't understand is why this has to happen in the middle of a recession. My sales were already down and this has just compounded the problems. Did they forget that was happening? Why not concentrate their resources on finishing ongoing projects like St. Clair before starting new ones?

Hi everybody.
Thank you for, well...thinking/talking/caring about us, during this challenging time.
I'd like to share some thoughts with you:
Our neighbourhood was in need of serious infrastructural renewal. New condos were built with new residents pooping into pipes that were older than their grandparents. Our sidewalks are in pretty bad shape. Demographically speaking, we've gotten younger. Families, with young children have come to our village- and we are all better off for it! We had an opportunity to make our neighbourhood more pedestrian friendly, so yes- we will lose some parking. The BIA understands that trees will make our neighbourhood more liveable, that larger sidewalks will serve to improve the public realm. We have engaged our local Residents' Associations, to help us in the planning process. We believe that our BIA is an important part of life in Roncesvalles Village. Our stores often give YOUR kids their first part time jobs, we sponsor their teams and pursuits. We serve you. And without your support, we do not exist.
The BIA has engages in some print advertising, and we have radio ads starting in early spring. We have worked hard to inform all, through our website roncesvallesvillage.ca, about progress and other developments. We have limited resources, friends.
We are trying to approach this in a calm, optimistic manner-and to a large extent, we're succeeding.
Here is what we need:
We need YOU to shop in Roncesvalles Village. We have everything you could possibly want for the holiday season, and beyond.
We are making sacrifices, to make our neighbourhood better.
Please stand with us.
Thank you, and happy holidays.

Tony

Big surprise on this construction taking FOREVER. I'm not sure if its fair to compare this to St.Clair (which is also a mess) but they should be working on this at least 18 hours a day and 7 days a week, and not just in random bits, with a few guys which I have seen in the morning, afternoon and evening whenever I am in the area. Bathurst just North of Dupont (I believe its still closed, I've avoided that area for more then 1 year) is another example of the ineptitude of the TTC, clearly illustrating how they get things done (or not!!!)

Yes, I do live on St. Clair, and yes, it wasn't that bad. So what if there's construction? Everything on St. Clair was perfectly accessible by bus and on foot.

The Roncey reconstruction has hit residents and businesses in the area very hard. Operating two local businesses on the street (Film Buff and Mad Gypsy), we can attest to the fact that every shop owner on the strip is taking a merciless financial beating these days and some may not survive next year. The Mad Gypsy is closing at the end of December after 6 break-even years, a decision not directly attributable but certainly accelerated by the impact the reconstruction has had on local walking/street traffic.

The Film Buff West is off significantly too, but we knew this was coming and tried to prepare as best we could. So far, we've kept our bills paid, if not ourselves, but that's the nature of owning a small business. It's a combination of thrills and terror. We're not looking forward to another year of this, but what can you do? Infrastructure needs to be replaced at some point and hopefully the final result of the streetscape/TTC improvements will be positive. That said, we're still a little shocked at just how quickly and deeply the reconstruction has impacted on our bottom line(s) and it's far from over yet. In the interim, local retailers are simply trying to ride it out long enough to get to the other side. If the project schedule stays on course, we've got about a year to go. If it drags on longer than that, all bets are off.

To those people who have continued to frequent our local retail shops, navigating their way through the dusty obstacle course that is Roncesvalles these days, thank you for your continued patronage. Without you, we'd be dead in the water already.

....and kudos to BlogTO for writing this story. It's the kind of local-matters-piece that our newspapers seem to have stopped publishing. From the number of interesting comments it has solicited, you appear to be on the right track.

My sincere sympathies to all the business owners on Roncesvalles. As a business owner in another part of the city but a resident just a short drive from Roncesvalles, I can't imagine how difficult it is just trying to stay alive. As a business owner I have a couple of months worth of funds set aside to weather a nasty storm, but a whole year or maybe 2 of funds is simply not realistic. I would sue the City of Toronto. As a resident I would love to shop on Roncesvalles, but it is a serious pain in the ass to get there. It becomes a guessing game when deciding which side street to turn on from Sorauren to try to get to the correct address on Roncesvalles when it was a one way. The success of most business is heavily weighted on location and if the location is not easily accessible to the customer the customer will find a more easily accessible alternative. Business owners, get together and do as business owners on SCW did and form a Class Action Lawsuit against the City.

I've lived in the neighbourhood for over 20 years and always try to shop locally. I still do but Roncesvalles is a mess. Yes, the infrastructure needed upgrading as did most of the street but it is chaotic and disorganized. TTC is confusing and the fact that there are no tax breaks for businesses suffering through this turmoil is appalling. And I agree with Stephanie Pick that basic services seem to be lacking in that there is no attempt to even try and keep things clean. Where has our local councillor, Gord Perks been? I agree with the writer who said the contracters should have been forced to complete the project in a specific short time frame. Who knows how long this will drag on for.

The follow-ups have reminded me two things that could've been EASILY done to reduce the madness and have been done only spordically or intermittently:
1. prepare better signage at Indian/Sorauren to advise drivers as to whether they're heading for a dead-end (the workers occasionally update the signs, but this isn't given adequate priority really);
2. related to signage issues, it's crucial to run a more coherent strategy for parking options and enforcement - i.e. putting up temporary signs that say "you can park on this muddy strip" or not - instead of making it a guessing game. If I'm driving, I want to know whether or not I'm risking a parking ticket in a crazy-zone like the construction strip!

I travelled across the city to shop at Queen of Tarts for Christmas. Sadly, they were all out of their cool gingerbreadmen. Only holiday, 30 Rock, and Spiderman remained. I tried!

RONCES as a whole, is not as supportive to local businesses as they'd like to think. I closed my business and hung the closing sign in the window with tears and the locals started to rush in, asking WHY and commenting they'd never been in, but it was such a lovely store and did I really make all this. YES, I DID!!! I even had a Minister from a very local church come in and ask for a donation and tell me she'd never been in my shop before; you're seriously asking for money and you don't support local business?

Thanks to many loyal locals we managed to survive for 6 years, but my mortgage had to get paid and no matter how much I advertised, up-dated products, or had sales many would walk past smell the flowers and keep walking.

Small business owners have been hit with Family Day payroll cheques to cut, increasing insurance, increasing taxes and now the construction. We're not CRYING we're DYING. Get used to it!!!

Streetcars work in Moscow just fine. They have hundreds of lines. The problem with track isn't corrosion. It's simple wear and tear.

Thank you Nigel for pointing out a hard truth about business and construction - if you had a shoddy product to begin with (and sorry, but I ate at Shala-Mar once and it was the worst Indian food I've ever had), then yeah, construction isn't your friend. But I've noticed that Polonez and the Local, for example, don't seem to be having any trouble bringing in business. So while I recognize that construction certainly does have a negative impact on local business, I can't feel sorry for shoddy businesses that don't survive. That's just the way the world works - no one is owed a living and if you open a business, hopefully it'll be something that will bring customers.

All that being said, it certainly helps to have local support. A group of friends were recently bemoaning the closure of Queen of Tarts, but when I started mentioning which tarts I personally liked best there, it turned out none of them had ever bought anything there. So what exactly were they bemoaning, and what did they expect would happen to a small, local business that they don't patronize? I realize Queen of Tarts wasn't a direct construction closure, but the example is too true, too often. "What a shame they're closing. No, I never actually shopped there."

Well thank goodness the construction is over but whoever put the stinky bloodmeal into the garden element all the way down Roncesvalles is a numpty as it stinks to high heaven during the spring and summer you can't walk or sit outside never mind the downwind smell. Woodchips maybe or peat or something to cover that up would be great. There are a few new places some good some really bad but still a lot of vacant spots. I still think the store owners who survived the stupidity of gov't roadworks should sue for the stress and poverty store owners had to go through at that time it was terrible even for the very determined. Though if you ask me they did shoddy work on the sidewalks with those terrible tiles they are hard to walk on as they wobble I don't know who's stupid idea that was clearly wasn't thinking of the elderly and disabled people who like the street due to it's user friendliness not having to deal with mall traffic, regular cement or that rubberized stuff near the church would have done.
