The COVID-19 pandemic is not the only blow being dealt to some Winnipeg businesses — now, it's road construction. - Ramsey Zeid of FoodfareOver on Maryland Street, road construction is hindering access to Ramsey Zeid's ​​​​​Foodfare grocery store. Business owner Ramsey Zeid said construction in front of Foodfare on Maryland Street is hampering business by 50 per cent. Zeid would like the city to consider construction work through the night, to expedite work on high-traffic streets. "Road construction typically starts in mid-May when the frost is out of the ground, and hot asphalt becomes available from suppliers, though this spring we were able to start a few projects in early May."
