was your first reaction to seeing the construction, to call the city and let them know you thought the intrusion would be less, and discuss it with them, or was it to call the media and let them know how the city LIED to the business owners on Water street. You must think government employees spend their days thinking up ways to screw the average citizen. Gee, maybe they didn't realize the extent of the project either, until it actually was started. And I do own a business, although not downtown, and would stop to gather all the facts, before going on TV to say how the city people intentionally lied and misled me. Maybe they didn't intentionally set out to "get" you..could have just been an unforseen event...
