Description
Business owners in Downtown Kirkland say they are nervous and concerned about an upcoming construction project, which will fully closure a main intersection to cars for at least two months.
Starting April 1, an eight-week closure of the intersection of Lake Street and Kirkland Avenue is scheduled so that the city can do construction on the Lake Street Scramble project.
The eight-week closure was originally scheduled for last July and August, but the city pushed the project to this spring after businesses shared concerns over the project taking place during the busiest months of summer.
Although some businesses said they appreciate the city moving the date, they said the closure will still greatly impact all the businesses near the intersection. Some businesses fear it will be detrimental.
