In a Week of Bad News a Little Glimmer of Good News

Well it has been a pretty terrible week in terms of news.  Granted this year hasn't exactly been stellar, but this week seemed to be bringing things to new lows.  However for Edmonton at least there was a bit of a bright spot as the 102 Ave Bridge opened City Bridge Project Page.  The long delayed project Originally scheduled to take 15 months which stretched to 24+ months was finally completed this week much to the joy of the shops in HighStreet and the 124 St business association http://www.124street.ca/.  So it's good news for the stores that managed to survive the drop off in traffic that occurred because of the bridges closure, and even better news that it was completed in the summer so that they have a chance to capitalize on the tourist season.  Best of luck to the stores in the area most of which are independent retailers. I hope they can have one of the best summers ever and that anyone that reads this takes a trip down to the HighStreet shops at 125 St NW and 102 Ave NW in Edmonton and takes a look around and hey maybe even buys something.
