From a tourist point of view, I hope they get this done sooner. I took my fiance to the isles 4-0 win over the devils last Saturday, and I took her to Roosevelt Field. She hated all the traffic, and the mall, in our opinion, was looking to small for the amount of people in it. I told her what’s going on with the project, and she’s even said that if this gets done that she wouldn’t mind spending the weekend here instead of one long day. I’m sure many will see this as a benefit as well.
