So there's zero evidence that the "vast majority" expressed any opinion. Obviously councillors did not get 100k emails.
There is a loud, tiny minority who have loudly protested spending on this. Councillors have lied to themselves and their constituents by claiming that the policy they're implementing is a) effective and b) fiscally conservative (it is likely to be neither, but we'll never know a for sure).
One councillor has explicitly dismissed all of the people who argued for the pilot.
So to claim this is a response to the majority has just as little evidence for it, as the policy they've adopted for snow clearing.
