Inglewood went through the same mess, and businesses ended up closing for good. Bridgeland is on the early end of it, but I doubt all of the businesses will survive there either.

Worst of all, a huge amount of this destructive 'improvement' is only to implement traffic calming measures.

With the increased density, there is going to need to be some kind of traffic management. They’re grade separating the bike lane from the 20th and 34th intersection which is nice. But they really screwed up the layout on 34th east of 20th. Need more loading zone spots. About to get worse when they start the Co-op construction.
