ANYONE WHO HAS REGULARLY CROSSED THIRD STREET IN FRONT OF THE CONVENTION CENTER WILL HAVE TO START CHECKING FOR TRAFFIC AGAIN. THIRD STREET HAD BEEN SHUTDOWN BETWEEN MARQUETTE AND TIJERAS FOR MONTHS WHILE CONSTRUCTION ON CIVIC PLAZA WAS UNDERWAY. PEDESTRIANS HAD A FREE PASS WHEN CROSSING THE STREET. NOT ANYMORE. THE CITY HAS REOPENED THIRD STREET, ALLOWING TRAFFIC TO ONCE AGAIN FLOW IN FRONT OF THE CONVENTION CENTER.
