Local resident Carrie Richardson would like to see street closure policies changed.
The owner of Alternate Root Organics presented her concerns to executive committee at Monday’s meeting. She said she was not notified ahead of time that the May 4 street closure for a Moose Jaw Cycling Club and Saskatchewan Cycle bike race, sponsored by Team Redgoat, would be happening.
She said it negatively affected her business because the whole block was shut down. On a typical Saturday she has 182 customers during the day, but on that day she only had 28 customers.
“That never happens,” she said. “One of the reasons that I’m bringing this issue forward is (that) this to me is an example of why something like this shouldn’t be left in the event planner’s hands.”
