View submission: Improving walkability cost me an election
Happens everywhere. I worked for a small city in Iowa and at one point local business owners in a shopping/dining/bar district in our downtown caused a stink about street trees blocking the view of their businesses. They were demanding the city cut all of them down, which would have made the pedestrian experience hell in the summer. Luckily the city didn’t give in and instead just came to a compromise with the business owners to be more intentional about pruning the trees regularly.
