Using federal wards does not necessarily require a reduction in the number of Councillors. Reducing Council to 25 wards to match federal ridings wasn't particularly popular among the public during the consultation process. But if the ridings were split in half, as they are now, there would be additional Councillors. This approach was, reportedly, more popular during the public consultations than the 25-ward option, although not with everyone (increasing the number of Councillors by 6 wasn't particularly popular among some members of the public either), and it still raises the issues I mentioned above. According to the final report, members of Council weren't particularly enamored with the 50-ward option either.
