It's not the first fight over this. In an April email I obtained through a public records request, Mosby told Trammell she was "really saddened" that she has to "fight for funding" every year.

"I’m trying not to take (it) personally," Mosby wrote.

If you were planning to walk anywhere in the vicinity of East Broad, East Grace, North Foushee or North 1st streets … well, too bad.

I wonder what considerations for pedestrians were made when these construction permits were approved and city projects scheduled.
