Neighborhood councillors have complained that a section of the property has been hit by an earthquake and tsunami several times, sometimes as a result of major street closures. Some residents have been forced to move to new areas during the earthquake.

Downtown has been transformed following the tsunami in the Pacific Northwest, with the addition of a new shopping area to the northwest corner, which includes a new street that was previously only covered by parking.

"Our goal remains to keep the sidewalks as clear as possible, and to provide traffic flow," Mr. Zierzki said.
