Edmonton restaurant owners losing customers and revenue due to downtown construction disrupting foot traffic and accessibility

Restaurant owners in Edmonton's downtown core are experiencing significant revenue decline as construction projects block access, reduce parking, and deter customers from visiting their establishments. Current solutions like temporary signage and social media updates fail to adequately redirect customer traffic or compensate for the prolonged loss of walk-in business. Restaurants lack effective tools to communicate construction impacts to customers and maintain sales during multi-month construction periods.
