I don't think I am. If your residential cul-de-sac is closed, you get signs on Friday, pylons after rush hour sure. But homeowners on the street would get flyers etc.
The IHT is not a residential cul-de-sac. It's equivalent to Fischer-Hallman Rd. in terms of trails, it's the main through route in the city.
If Fischer-Hallman Rd. was going to be closed to all traffic for an extended period of time, between say, Columbia and the Plaza, you had better believe there would be notifications for weeks, it would probably be in the paper multiple times.
When I wrote that, I was thinking of closures like King and William and other ION-related closures. Speaking of which, ION also has a double standard for roads vs. trails in terms of quality of detour planning and care taken to minimize closures.
