“Why do the children always have screens in front of them? Back in my day”

“You’re not taking my beautiful stroad away from me, hippie!”

Mississauga has observed the ban since 1979. It was amended in 2010 to also include the prohibition of sporting equipment, like hockey and basketball nets, on the roadway.

They rejected a removal of the ban. Carbrains have banned it 40 years ago.

Don't you know our cities are for cars not people?

The pandemic was great for my city (San Francisco) in this regard---they shut/heavily discouraged a bunch of streets to through traffic for a number of "slow streets." Kids and adults alike run, bike, scooter, etc. in the middle of these streets. Obviously people love them, so they remained after the pandemic (at least, the one's I'm familiar with remain).

It's not a full-on car ban, but it's a start!
