They have storage lockers there too, probably is attractive to people nearby who want storage but not too far away

Hopefully they will add some big planters to make up for it, and maybe Settlement will also add some patio tables to that barren streetscape.
The nice side of not having trees or patio tables is a lot of sidewalk room for pedestrians instead of token stunted trees.
