A decision on the market gate queue should be judged at the lower gate at Coal Row Market, where the rule changes an ordinary route, shift or service. Keep contract terms, meter readings and worker testimony beside one another. The current file is the Year first, rain shift window 3 review, not a permanent settlement of every future case.
The queue tickets, gate opening marks and stall delivery receipts lists 76 deliveries admitted before the first public bell; the previous window lists 79. Vek Cinder checked both against meter readings checked against a dated shift and operating condition. The difference matters because how to keep early market freight moving without blocking a neighborhood service.
Merchants want a dedicated lane. Residents say the water cart cannot wait until the market is stocked. Those objections deserve a clear answer. They are not a reason to keep an uncheckable rule simply because its wording is familiar.
A useful decision names who will do the work, which count will change and when the result comes back to the public table. In this case, the freight lane is shared with a neighborhood water cart.
The Year first, rain shift window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The gate steward will test alternating freight and water-cart windows.
