Downtown ‘officially’ reopens, but not to vehicles yet
Mayor Ryan Bater cut the ceremonial red ribbon today to officially reopen the “downtown T” to the public this morning. But with one glaring exception — the roads aren’t ready for vehicular traffic yet.
City administration along with council, invited residents to congregate downtown and be a part of the reopening of the downtown that has been under construction since June. According to previous statements from city administration, today was supposed to be the day foot and car traffic was allowed back on the roads.
But according to Bater, there is still some work to do before it is completely reopen to traffic.
“I think we are looking at later this week,” Bater said. “Of course, it is all up to the contractors to get the work done. We had some delays due to weather last week, but I think we expect by this weekend we will have traffic open.”
