That's a pretty pointed question. The answer, IMO is yes and no.
Whever the city authorizes road closures, the developer pays fees for it. Even a temporary closure for a big concrete pour or something like that costs thousands of dollars.
The question I'd like answered is: where does that money go? Especially for a long term closure that significantly affects businesses.
If the city is collecting money off Point of View for this closure, it should be proportionally giving tax breaks to the other land owners in the area. If it does, then no, the business shouldn't be further compensated.
