Business owners on Broad Street in downtown Victoria say their business is down because of sidewalk repairs in front of their building.

"One day we walked in and they were building all of these barricades," said Heather Nightingale, store director at MisMack Clean Cosmetics.

"We’re paying for street-front rent and our costumers can’t even come and look in our windows," said Jim Cassels, manager at Simply the Best.Further down the street, macaron sales are also slumping. CTV News also asked what specifically was wrong with the structural integrity of the sidewalk, but that question wasn’t answered.
