It was a good article but my main takeaway was that the city botched the marketing of the planned change. Had they communicated what was being planned and why ahead of time, as well as providing the tool/simulation to make it more tangible to residents, they might have had less objection to the change. If not, they at least would have likely had more support from the majority who stood to benefit to counteract it.

Big changes that impact tens or hundreds of thousands of people need to be staged out to minimize impact. The Big Bang approach doesn’t work for problems like this — i bet a few thousand people would lose jobs over these schedule changes.
