I mean really, we have this lovely RiverWalk and people are being inconvenienced if they want to get to it. At a time when tourism is its highest, we've got this slow-going construction along a very popular tourists spot. The timing wouldn't be so bad if it moved along a lot quicker. As someone mentioned earlier, the construction started in March and it is now July and it's still not done.

Regarding lightning, lights are out along Griswold between State and Clfford and then along Grand River between Washington Blvd and Griswold. This area of downtown is the last that needs to have its lights out. Enough said.
Who is charge of the construction of Atwater street that is being done between Rivard and Orleans? Is it the Riverfront Conservancy? The conservancy is slow when it comes to constructing projects the lack of funds at the time. A simple repaving of Atwater could had been completed in a month. That include repaving the sidewalks.
