<\/p>\nPhase 2 of Pittsburgh street closures to begin Monday, ahead of the NFL Draft<\/p>\n
Several roads on North Shore will be closed to vehicles<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDETAILS ON THOSE CLOSURES. WHEN PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE OF THE STREET CLOSURES KICK IN, A LOT OF WORKERS AT THESE RESTAURANTS AND BARS WILL HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING INTO WORK. WHEN I SAY ROAD CLOSURES FOR THE NFL DRAFT, WHAT COMES TO MIND? SCARY. OH BOY, THAT MEANS PEOPLE. LOTS OF PEOPLE. LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL BRING A LOT OF BUSINESS WITH THESE RESTAURANTS AND BARS ON THE NORTH SHORE. BUT THE MASS MIGRATION OF NFL DRAFT FANS BRINGS A UNIQUE CHALLENGE FOR THESE BUSINESSES. IT STARTS WITH PHASE TWO STREET CLOSURES STARTING MONDAY AND EXTENDING INTO DRAFT WEEK. ROADWAYS MARKED IN YELLOW ARE THE STREETS NEXT IN LINE TO SHUT DOWN TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. NORTH SHORE DRIVE IS ONE OF THEM WHERE ALL OF THE BUSINESSES ARE LOCATED. CASINO DRIVE THAT RUNS ALONG THE CAYMAN SCIENCE CENTER. TONY DORSETT DRIVE READS DALE STREET AND CHUCK NOLL WAY. TOM\u2019S WATCH BAR AND BAR LOUIE ARE TWO BUSINESSES WHO MUST FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THEIR EMPLOYEES TO WORK ON TIME. WHEN PHASE THREE CLOSURES KICK IN DURING DRAFT WEEK, I THINK SINCE THE SHEER AMOUNT OF VOLUME OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE NORTH SHORE, WHAT\u2019S GOING TO HAPPEN IS ALL THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS GOING TO BE FULL. SO IT\u2019S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME. WE\u2019RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW OUR STAFF IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET DOWN HERE, HOW THE PUBLIC IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET DOWN HERE, LIKE WHAT\u2019S GOING TO BE OPEN WHEN IT\u2019S GOING TO CLOSE. I KNOW THERE\u2019S SCHEDULED TIMES AND SCHEDULED ROAD CLOSURES. HOWEVER, WE ARE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE\u2019RE GOING TO GET OUR STAFF DOWN HERE. ALSO TONIGHT, ADMINISTRATORS WITH THE CAYMAN SCIENCE CENTER TOLD PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR THAT THEY WILL CLOSE FOR THE NFL DRAFT BEGINNING APRIL 13TH INTO MAY 1ST\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
