My thoughts re: displaced businesses: not everybody can afford to move. For them, closing is the only option. For some the cost is going to be bigger than others, especially the aforementioned lumber yard. Won't be the only one; Gillies Lumber will have to move to accommodate the eventual LRT route - they get all their deliveries by rail but their siding is going to be cut off. And that is a big site.
The question becomes, should there be a moving assistance program for businesses that have to relocate? Especially local businesses.
