If you stopped by the Ballard Farmers Market on Sunday, you may have noticed new sections of sidewalk along the east side of Ballard Ave.

While there are a few patches still under construction, SDOT says the concrete repair work should be done by this week, weather willing. We spoke to a few businesses along the construction zone, and they told us they’re happy the project is nearly complete. Some said they believed the construction — which closed sidewalks and reduced parking — was bad for business. The final phase will be sandblasting the finished sidewalk to “achieve the architectural finish required by the Ballard Landmarks District,” explains SDOT.
