JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Where ever there's a road improvement project, usually a household or a business is affected. In this case it is the Hairy Glass, a family business.

"We can't get our suppliers or customers pick up that come in," said Candy Moore, "There are no trespassing signs on each end. Both and ends of the roads are closed."

Moore's business is on Max Leggett Parkway. The road widening project began a year ago by a private developer. Moore said last month the "road closed" and "no trespassing" signs went up at her end of the road. 

"We're not opposed to the expansion," she said, "What the problem is they forget there's people here; we've been here 27 years and it is affecting our business when we can't get our suppliers in."

Developer Steve Leggett said the parkway is the connection between Main Street, River City Marketplace and a booming Northside.

"It is just going to be phenomenal," said Leggett.
