According to the owner, Larry Friedman, he has been dealing with this issue for years. Now, the City of Norfolk has agreed to put up temporary concrete barriers on Wednesday. The barriers will eventually be replaced with a concrete planter.

The owner M & G Sales said Mayor Kenny Alexander visited the shop on Saturday and that's what got the ball rolling. Mayor Alexander asked, "How can I help?' and on Wednesday the concrete barriers were in place.

Friedman agreed to take care of the plants the city puts into the planter.

Now, the store, bikers, and pedestrians will be safe from cars leaving the roadway.
