NIMBYs had nothing to do with the cancellation of the tower. The tower was cancelled when City Tech (landowner) and Ratner (developer) couldn't come to agreement. NIMBYs couldn't do anything anyways, since the tower was as-of-right.
Also, there was no redesign of the tower. There was a single proposal, which never advanced beyond the conceptual stage.
And a tower is still planned, at some later date. Will likely be a different design, though.
