The City of Wilmington should compensate the store owners for the losses they will suffer for the next 3 months. With the economy as bad as it is at the present time, the City and Contractors should have left the handicap ramp and made a way for customers of these stores to enter from the Market St. side. Signs should have been posted to direct customer traffic into these stores. This was extremely poor planning on the part of the City and is unfair to the store owners, building owners, and residents who live upstairs. These stores may not be able to recoop their losses during this long period of time.
