Reply to comment by NewNewark in The new Gateway Center sucks by Echos_myron123

I know the caution tape is still put up on Mulberry side and the desk was still up as well from the Newark Penn side.

Not sure what to tell you as far as not feeling welcome, but if the guards aren’t stopping anyone on either side and the explicit “tenant only” signs are taken down, then it one could also consider it open again - or at least not blocked off

Not gonna get into semantics as far as interpretations of it being inviting or welcoming - I’m just sharing what I know from my prior experience in commercial property management and what happened when I brought it up with Onyx’s social media team. Idk what to tell you beyond that.

Im grateful for your comments here, just noting that the current setup means zero walk-up traffic from folks who dont work in there. It doesnt look open. I appreciated avoiding the rain though.

Which reminds me, from my walk today (9am), I would guess there was about 40% as many people in the corridor vs pre-pandemic. A little better than what I expected actually. I saw 3 people in the Dunkin, pre-covid there were 6-12 waiting usually (and there were 2 open)

I get where you’re coming from. I’m not thrilled about it overall either, but what can you do sometimes.

That’s better than what I expected too. Think it will improve as more restaurants open up and more Seton Hall/Devils games go on over time.
