Correction:

The riverfront deal was desperate. Sharon et al were
dead set against St. Paul picking off another business
so close to the elections and since the first deal for
a space for Padilla with another contractor fell

Your technical explanation is fine. However, if you don't remove the snow
in the first place and then you call a parking ban because the snow is too
high then someone has a problem. The city staff don't have a problem with
