Siobhan Taylor, store owner of Ms. Eye Candy Boutique, stands at her storefront at 85 Allen St.
with construction underway behind her. Taylor says that businesses such as hers
on Allen Street have lost not only foot traffic, but have minimal space to park
because of the construction to widen the street. “It’s just been a deterrent so
we're not getting the drive through traffic,” Taylor said. The construction
has been going on since early March and it is expected to finish up in summer
of next year. By Gabrielle Kime and Conner Wilson
