Ironic Cafe and Bar owner Steve Wilson said his business was losing $5000 a week because of cycleway work in Anzac Ave. Contractors had closed the south-bound lane of the street, between Castle and St Andrew St, but kept the northbound lane open while building the separated cycleway. The construction work began in July and was expected to continue until November. After Mr Wilson complained, the sign was replaced by one advising the businesses were still open, but customers were still staying away, he said. He was not against cycleways, or the contractors working outside his business, but believed the council should do more to help.
