The OP’s point (or maybe mine is) is that any other major city there would be protective scaffolding with lighting allowing the sidewalk to continue during construction. Rather than a big FU to pedestrians for the next 12-18 months at a sidewalk in the heart of the downtown.

still, pedestrians should be accounted for, especially in downtown

plenty of cities (especially NYC) do construction year round without fully blocking access to sidewalks
