I'm unable to open the link due to being blocked, but do they have the data to prove sales went down?

Every study I've seen shows shops always sell more when they have more foot traffic from pedestrianization and protected bike lanes. Businesses tend to complain initially, but when the cash starts flowing in, they never want it removed afterwards

    The linked article talks about business owners that are complaining about reduced sales while construction is going on... It's not even a completed project that they are complaining about.
