So for those who want the city to follow recommendations of experts you can go through the articles from May 2014 to now.
Essentially the livery manger wants to add 310 plates .... Gets rejected.
Comes back in August wanting to add 383 plates. This would get us back to same cab density as the late eighties.
Gets phased in over 3 years while they "study" the issue further.
So in the last year with uber pressuring them they still failed to implement the recommendations to try to fix the taxi problem instead delaying it on behalf of the industry.

But citing uncertainty surrounding the impacts of such a large release – 383 more plates would represent a 25-per-cent increase over the 1,526 taxi plates currently out there – councillors agreed on a plan to spread the release out over time, based on real-world data gathered on taxi service between now and early 2015.

Impacts? More cabs on the road? Why is the city regulating this? What other industry has a limit on how many we can have in one city?
Oh sorry Sport Chek, too many sports stores in the city.
