Third Avenue construction to replace aging infrastructure began early in August
Downtown stores and restaurants on Third Avenue have noticed a significant downturn in business since the city began a project to replace the water supply lines that run underneath the road.That day can’t come soon enough for North 54 general manager and head chef Tyler Currie. He says business has dropped about 50 per cent since construction began. With Third Avenue closed to traffic for about two blocks, customers are unable to park in front of the restaurant.
“Parking is the biggest problem, they’ll park somewhere close to Nancy O’s or White Goose and go there for lunch,” said Currie.Among the businesses affected are Third Avenue Pharmacy, Karim Indian Cuisine Restaurant, Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop and Canadian Western Bank, as well as several stores west of Victoria Street in Victoria Square.
“Some people are giving up, kind of circling around and some are giving up because there’s not really anywhere else to park to get in here,” said Johnson.
