I think you're giving more credit than is due. If this was a road, a sign would go up Friday evening after rush hour, pylons would be lined up Sunday night, and it would be closed on Monday morning.
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.
