No, it closed last fall. Clearly you were not a regular customer.

Now that the glass over the atrium is complete you can begin to get a sense of the lovely interplay with the heritage building north of it; sadly it's not visible from the angles I can get to yet.

I had never seen one of the new Market doors open yet, now I have. The plan is to have them open in summer so the stalls can flow out to the sidewalk.

I walked by once this week and it was open. The space looks so open and cavernous. It's going to be beautiful when it's open and filled with light.

Any plans to improve the street scape/ pedestrian crossing along front street between the two markets?

 

[evandyk]

LOL. It’s going to be four plus lanes for cars, and 10-12 feet for people for the foreseeable future.

Plans, no. Hope, yes. The SLNA are talking to Chris Moise about Section 37 funds but at the end of the day there is not that much that can be done as Front is a main road and certainly needs at least 2 lanes of moving traffic plus probably a 'drop-off' lane.

Around here one needs to be careful as the City loves jersey barriers. Do not forget that when the fencing on Front is removed the sidewalk outside new North Market is really very good and Market Lane Park should start being fixed up this year too. I heard that the police do not like anything that encourages crossing outside an official 'crossing place' (e.g. the ramp in the median) but ....

DSC is much more connected than I am, but as an observer, the chances of Front being put on any sort of road diet are minimal. There should be nice changes to the sidewalk and Market Lane, though. And the Market St. permanent opening should happen, I think.

Totally agree!

Do we know when it's slated to open and what vendors have leases yet?
