In my layman's understanding, you normally can only succeed in a preliminary injunction if you can show probable harm in the action, and that you're likely to succeed in the case. A couple of other things, but yes having the injunction denied likely means that the judge didn't think it was imminently dangerous for the public, or that the city didn't have a really strong case that they were likely to win.

Having a preliminary injunction slapped on you is bad news. Failing to get one, not so much, because lawyers are always trying that without much expectation of success, again in my lay opinion.
