I am guessing the local DOT was revamping access & egress & it disrupted the patterns of pedestrian usage.
Such actions RARELY are discussed in advance with the local shopkeepers. PEDESTRIAN USAGE is given priority & PARKING is eliminated. People will not walk any distance to get to a business.
Many years ago that area was where the winos hung out.
