A Louisville restaurant owner says long -term construction is damaging them and other businesses around him.
The road construction project for almost three years is currently leaving I-264 in East Louvil, near the new VA medical center.This $ 129 million effort is designed to facilitate long -term traffic flow, but in the short term he created obstacles for passengers and concerns for nearby business owners.
Ayaias's balance was talking about Akshay Kadam, the note of the Nash, a place to the place on the site, the way you seeks it.
Ayisha Jaffer: You are close to the building zone on this road, such as affecting your business, both in relation to customers and daily operations.
Akhaya Kavad: Yes, it hurts us, usually the way to work.
AJ: Well, I think what kind of contact is, are you coming from a city or state before any project starts?
AK: There was no communication officially, email, but I have heard from other tenants, as the campus has many tenants.But for official hearing from [city] or who has an authorized, there is no communication.
The next day I only went to the construction site because I was so disappointed with empty tables and my servers were injured.This will be, so the whole structure will not affect us.So, I went ahead and talked to him and it was, we will do it in the phases.
AJ: And you said, it involves your staff, wisely?
AK: We don't do so much business, so we have to reduce the team.And whoever is in the shift also saw a drastic salary change.I really love my team because I can't do anything without them.So, when they do not deserve or now, they do not do enough, as they did three months ago or two months ago, I injured.
Well: So, do you want to help you get this time and have any support or hope from the city, the state or the country?
AK: So far.But as I said there were many tenants too.They were also affected.I talked to some other renters, but we didn't have a request.If we have a leader, we can say, "We are affected. Knowing what to do." If there is a problem in front, I will find a solution for it.
