Without Warning the new sidewalk is torn up

So...The Neat L'l Bookshop will be closed today.  The contact numbers are posted on the door.  No one called us.  What happened?  Our only clue yesterday was a UNION GAS vehicle and numerous Link-Line Contractors Inc. vehicles in the neighbourhood.  Today:

...on the other side of the street.  We have contacted our county councillor.  Fred Morison, thank you for coming this morning at 7:00 a.m. and forwarding our complaint to the project managers.  Businesses do not quickly recover from being closed over and over again - unpredictably - during advertised OPEN HOURS.  At one point we were left with a two-foot drop from our door for two weeks, without any prior warning or any solution in sight.  We were closed.
