Some downtown business owners have mixed feelings about the sidewalk reconstruction project along the 400 and 500 blocks of Yampa Avenue.The news that construction would begin on the stretch of downtown was announced on Jan. 6 at a Public Works meeting.
According to Landmark Consultant’s partner, Eric Griepentrog, the project will take most if not all of 2021.
Some business owners worry construction could block off entryways to their business. The effects of diminished foot traffic could hit even harder coming on the heels of the pandemic.
