Fastforward today, despite the streetcar being no more than a pet vanity project, there isn't any opposition from the mayors. You know why? because if this thing gets through, now every municipality will have an excuse to whine for their own pet project. It's not a can of worms you want to open.

I think the Mayors council should have the decision making power reduced and handed over people in the affected municipalities. Big projects should be put to a vote and the Mayors council should listen to them.
