It's do or die now! This photo is from yesterday. Painters were onsite Sunday painting the new ironwork for the new signage. That likely in a perfect word, would have been done before it was installed.

Have a soft opening, work out the kinks over several weeks and then hold the grand opening when you're really ready.
Fingers crossed for these folks, though, this has been a long time coming and I'm hoping the market is a great success

I never understood the rush to celebrate a "grand" opening so close to the end of a construction period. Several local businesses have done this over the years and it's been an unnecessarily stressful time for all involved.
I guess this one with so many missed deadlines, they decided to put the pressure on themselves.

Men's shoes used to be right down at the end of that aisle on the right.
Cosmetics was on the left.
Now they're going to sell turnips.

Is the plan to be open daily?

What is the structure for this endeavor? Is it a private business that is leasing space to venders?
Is the plan to be open daily?
Yes, open daily. I think the whole place is rented to the society, then they sublease to tenants.

We have heard that if they block Douglas past 3pm, they are getting a $5000 fine. They expect to miss the deadline.

Well, a little better planning by the contractor would have been smarter. Urban Sign is just the manufacturer, the installation is not by them. I don't think it's unusual to ask that Douglas not be blocked after rush hour starts. It's gonna be traffic nuts of it's still blocked at 4pm. Gonna be tough for buses to keep to schedule.

How is keeping traffic moving during rush hour not pro-business?

People who workin The area need to be able to travel to andfrom work without unnecessary delay caused by an activity such as installing a sign and blocking traffic on a Friday afternoon also peoe heading into town for dimness or entertainment at businesses would be affected
Hope these examples clear up the confusion
