Impact analysis
Rebuilding islands could cost the company significant money, but the waiver avoids that for now.
Ventura Foods gets a functional, plowable lot without islands that trucks kept destroying.
Potentially the aesthetic standard of the city if waivers become routine for businesses citing hardship.
