    Did I read that article correctly that they accidentally did it on purpose?

    Claims it was cut down in error, then a few paragraphs later talks about how it was removed because it was obstructing train drivers view of signal signs.

      The error was that people made a stink about it.

      As in “If we had known people cared about a man murdered by his work place, we wouldnt have cut it down”

      It was removed on purpose to fix sign visibility. If they knew it was important, they might have just moved the sign instead. The picture makes it look large enough that you might not notice the topiary from the ground.
