Business owners on West Pearl are voicing strong concerns over the potential reclosing of the street, arguing that such a move would be detrimental to their livelihoods and the local economy. They emphasize that restricting access to this vital thoroughfare would not only hinder customer foot traffic but also contradict findings from city studies that advocate for open streets to promote business growth.
The owners highlight that the vibrant atmosphere of West Pearl is a key attraction for both locals and visitors. By limiting access, they fear a significant decline in patronage, which could lead to reduced revenues and even business closures. They argue that the benefits of an open street, including increased accessibility and enhanced community engagement, far outweigh any potential drawbacks.
In light of these concerns, business owners are urging city officials to reconsider their stance on the matter and to prioritize the needs of the community and local businesses. They believe that collaboration and open dialogue are essential to finding a solution that supports both the city’s goals and the livelihoods of those who call West Pearl home.
