"Climate Mitigation" is not unknown Geotechnical issues or steel price escalation. This reeks of a council that decided after the fact that extra berms or worse...higher efficient systems/insulation needed to be used.
"Sidewalk etc upgrades" sounds like the city is changing its design or spec on something that should have been covered a long time ago.
To me the only question is...did she torpedo this on purpose...or is she so incompetent negotiating modern engineering/infrastructure projects that this was an inevitable outcome...

So why is it a problem for the City to come forward with some changes? The City cooperated with CSEC when they wanted to punt CMLC as project managers, and they changed other things in the agreement in July. Things can change even during construction and that isn't unusual. These aren't critical changes to the project by the sounds and money costs of it, either.
