A plan to replace a section of the concrete canopy of the Barracks Road Shopping Center has been put on hold after merchants and customers criticized the move.
Federal Realty Investment Trust, which owns the shopping center, announced to tenants during a meeting last week that it will not remove the covered walkway from Panera Bread to Richey & Co. The company had already won Charlottesville’s approval to replace the 10-foot-deep concrete walkway in that stretch of the center with small, individual awnings in front of each store.
