I'm with Robbie on this one.  

A couple of points.

*   Why is the path even closed?  Construct a temporary access off of Portage 
for the 
    construction equipment or create a temporary path entrance onto Portage 
very near the 
    current path entrance.

*   Most construction site entrances do not close the sidewalk.  Why so in this 
case?

Traffic Section should review this one again.
