    everything you say is true.

    But thinking that cities will redesign their streets without public pressure? I doubt it.

      Thankfully, lessons from Europe seem to be penetrating Canada now; at least in the more urban areas. I saw some fantastic progress living in Montréal. Ottawa has the right ideas despite the master plan not being clear to people yet. Toronto was on the right path, but we’ll see what provincial pressures do. My current town of Kingston is late to the party, but we’ve got momentum in the right direction.

      We spent 50+ years changing our built environment to “optimise” for the car, even with the best intentions it’s going to take time to change again.
