Bryan Uvesugi, president of produce wholesaler Fresh Point, says he started his career on Produce Row when someone handed him a broom 46 years ago. The disruption is of particular concern for Uyesugi, who says he started cleaning floors on Produce Row as a boy. The city describes the neighbourhood as the "largest and most diverse produce wholesaler and distribution cluster in Metro Vancouver." He and other major produce businesses on Produce Row are raising concerns about the new arterial road being built, which they say will cut off access to their stores and put the city's food networks at risk. (CBC)"The proposed overpass would start right in front of my building and basically shut off access," said Bryan Uvesugi, president of produce wholesaler Fresh Point Canada.
