New Orlean streetcars--city ordinance

The Associated Press reported that the New Orleans RTA needed a city ordinance to allow them to move the historic older cars from the St. Charles line to the Riverfront line. My question: Why was an ordinance required?

If I remember …The riverfront line was a difrent gauge…Or Technacly the riverfront line is owned by New Orleans Public Belt Railroad and NORTA is a difrent authrity
