Based on a professional assessment concerning the instability of the facade of the Threefoot Building, city officials have decided to close off an area around the building for the safety of the public. An assessment by BioPure Group concluded that "we have significant concern regarding the stability of the facade and associated life safety risks which could arise if this facade is not repaired and stabilized." Therefore, the city is closing off one lane of traffic on 22nd Avenue in front of the Threefoot and a section of the alleyway just south of the Threefoot. Trustmark Bank will close its northernmost drive-through window to accommodate the closure.

These sections of street will be closed until further notice.
