... negotiations with stakeholder groups would be good enough not to have Larry, Moe and Curly ...

Your underlying point of agreement and negotiation is completely valid and I don't think will be downvoted as much as you think. What it looks like is that some stakeholders (the residents on the affected streets) raised their voices and were supported by their councilor. It was late to the table, thus last minute but it was 'stakeholders' voicing their input.

Stakeholders such as Larry, Moe, and Curly, who have homes and are raising families on the requested residential streets. It very much looks like it was reached through negotiation. They added their plea and council listened. I think that is very positive. It's an 18 month evaluation period so it can gather feedback and in case it does not work. Citizens directly affected by such decisions are stakeholders - why would they not be? I would say democracy worked pretty well for those neighborhoods in this one small example.
