Broadway Closure Hits Local Businesses Hard | Canada News

West Broadway’s latest six-month closure between Cambie and Alberta is turning heads—and traffic. Eastbound drivers are being rerouted onto 8th Avenue, then looped back, but locals and business owners are bracing for chaos. With lanes blocked and infrastructure not built for this kind of congestion, safety measures like speed bumps feel like Band-Aids. Neil Wyles of the Mount Pleasant BIA warns of plummeting sales, echoing past Main Street closures that crushed local economies. No financial aid from the government, and officials ditched the “short-term” label—this is a seven-year grind for many. Still, Wyles pleads: support your neighborhood spots—just plan extra time to get there. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
