Opinion: that g.d. door at Commerce Place

Look, I’m not one to criticize, y’know … people in glass houses and all that jazz. But Commerce Place, you’re killing me.

commerce1I’m pretty sure that the last time I used this door was in 2008 (and yet, I still forget it’s blocked off, every time I try to exit onto Jasper Avenue).

So I am sincerely asking: WHAT IS THE HOLDUP WITH FIXING THIS DOOR?

Are we waiting for breakneck advances in door science to level out, so we don’t get stuck with out-of-date door technology?

Are we unsure about the future of the west side of the building?

WAS IT REALLY LESS WORK TO BOARD THIS UP THAN TO JUST REPLACE THE DOOR?

commerce2Starting today, Commerce Place, I’m keeping track of how long this door remains blocked off at the bottom of each post. You even get a clean slate – today is day number one. How long until you fix the door?day1

I’m watching you, Commerce Place.

    I’m hoping that when (if) they fix the doors, they replace them with doors that are easy for a normal human being to open. seriously, HEAVIEST DOORS EVER… I think they were actually voted as “Edmonton’s Worst Doors” in this year’s Best of Edmonton poll.

    Hmmm. In hindsight, that may have been a more productive choice than starting the web campaign. Well-played sir!
