We apologize for the barricade and understand your frustration. The barricades were placed there because we had some brick fall from the facade and we want to avoid pedestrians from getting injured in the event more brick comes loose. Please know that we have consulted with masons to determine how best to repair the facade, but the weather has prevented us from beginning the work. We hope to get scaffolding in place shortly after the pending snow storm that will allow pedestrians to safely walk underneath until the repair work is completed.
