Ball is in Uber's court, they don't address City's concern about insurance, start operations anyway.
How is the City's and the Mayor's fault? I could see if they were just digging in and saying no no matter what, but is there any evidence that is the case?

It's absolutely the city's fault, because they've let this issue fester for a decade. They're supposed to be representing their constituents who have been pointing out his problem for years. They should have a) solved this problem long ago, and/or b) used the last year that they've been working with Uber to actually help them get operational in our city.
As for the mayor - he was elected on his promise of being progressive, innovative and will cut through red tape. Essentially dismantling the "old boys club". This looks terrible on him.
