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.

But if the City is requesting certain information to enable that change and the proponent does not, what are they supposed to do?
It's like if I as a developer was trying to build something using an equivalency to the meet fire code provisions in a new way because I believe the existing fire code provision is onerous. The City says OK, show us how that works. And I say no, and then build the building anyway.
I agree taxi reform has been too slow, but at least in recent years some tangible steps have been taken. That hadn't been the case in a generation.
