"Back to topic, apparently there are talks to cease the construction until after Merrie Monarch. Perhaps this is part of finding that middle ground. When confirmed, I will post a link."
just a hunch, but if so, i would suspect a strong motivation for postponing construction until after Merrie Monarch would be the distinct possibility of more confrontation during cultural festivities not being the best scenario for smoothing already rippled waters. in any case, i'd agree it's better to avoid marring Merrie Monarch with unpleasant and potentially volatile political friction, distracting from celebrating all the beautiful talent.
