I'd say i agree on 80%, too.
The previous council was a lesson in stagnation and inactivity. They couldn't agree on what to order for lunch, let alone on how to proceed on any given project.
Planning committee would spend hours and countless delegates for a f***ing three storey building on a narrow lot in Lowertown. Four wasted years. Now, in the past number of months they've approved light rail - and actually adapted theplan instead of scrapping it and starting over...again...and there is more willingness to approve high density. Examples being the Nepean/Gloucester towers of 27 floors each.
Community outrage will remain a constant thing, however - that's a given. As such, we're on he 487th lawsuit over Lansdowne
But yes, rail can't be built soon enough, same with an east end bridge. The latter issue needs movement, because people's attitudes towards a bridge being built anywhere near their homes won't change. Just do it - it's ridiculous having logging trucks driving through downtown.
