There seems to be an obvious and extremely concerning trend in Ontario.
- Clear-cut green spaces for... cars.
- Don't allow kids to be kids on their own street because of... cars.
- Cyclists aren't allowed to be safe because of... cars.
- We must remove farms to make way for... cars.
- Can't breathe clean air because of... cars.
- School areas are a hazard because of... cars.
- Pedestrians aren't safe using crosswalks with a right of way because of... cars.
While cities and countries all over the world are working hard to return public spaces to the PEOPLE, it seems like Ontario has to give up everything for these metal cages.
Why are we putting up with this?
Cars and car infrastructure are bankrupting cities, destroying our climate, and paving over our land. EVs don't really solve most of this problem. We need to stop prioritizing metal boxes over people.
Yes a trend. This bylaw has been in place since 1979.

Yes, we've been prioritizing cars that far back, and have continued the trend.
City council could have voted to give kids the right to use the street, but chose not to.
@Auli @Showroom7561 I renember back in the 70s . we would look for the repeat offenders at the mall and propel shopping carts at them . biggest score for the biggest scratch.
best was was a nasty dodge station wagon rounding onto queen mary rd at speed. a shopping cart full of rocks from down the street made the perfect hit . no time to swerve or stop, rocks all over the hood and window smashed! it was glorious!
Wow. Seems anti-childhood. Safety conscious, yes, but still...isn't there a third way?
Truly being safety conscious would be doing things like traffic calming, removing through routes from side streets, lower speed limits and other solutions that don't revovle reatriction of children. This does a little bit to improve safety but mostly shifts blame to parents and kids by making it illegal to play in the street, which might be the only outdoor space some kids have access to.
City Council: They could be playing safely in the streets for free, let’s make them play inside for fee!
