The mayors of six Montreal boroughs say they're worried a proposed provincial law will give the mayor of Montreal too much control. The mayors of the Plateau–Mont-Royal, Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Outremont, Anjou, Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève and LaSalle boroughs say the law would lead to too much centralization. The mayors say the percentage of roads that fall under the central city's responsibility has doubled, from 24 per cent to 52 per cent of the network, since 2014. As an example of the impact centralization has had on Anjou, Mayor Luis Miranda pointed to his borough's snow removal procedures. Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre says he has the support of the province and that demergers are not feasible.
