Where are the warning signs?? >:-#

I can appreciate that the construction work on Bank needs to be done, but where are the signs warning pedestrians that certain sections of sidewalk have been torn up to the point where they’re not even accessible?

I’m talking specifically about the portion of sidewalk that used to exist in front of the now-destroyed Tommy & Lefebvre building at Bank and Macleod. Maybe the construction crews working on Bank aren’t responsible for the removal of that section of sidewalk, but since they have temporarily removed sections of the sidewalk north of there, you’d think they’d have the courtesy to put some kind of warning sign at, say, Gladstone for the benefit of southbound pedestrians. After all, not everyone who has errands to run in that area lives or works in that area. I certainly don’t. And these construction workers are going to be there for at least a couple more months.

It’s insulting to have to learn of these inconveniences only by encountering them yourself. Those people who have the authority to put such signs up should be ashamed of themselves. If respect is supposed to be a two-way street, then failing to put those signs up is a poor way for them to show their half of the equation.
