Here is a breathless story about how Toronto can be “car-free”. You will love it. Just leave the old Highlander in the driveway and use it for storage. “Car-free” is the inspiration of Kristyn Wong-Tam. Councillor Ward 27. It appears the story’s writer, John Lorinc is also fully on board. You may be guessing that this is about local road closures and such. Street parties, that type of thing. Not a bit. These visionaries see miles and miles of roads closed in the name of “livable streets” This quote in particular sets off the South Bayview baloney-detector: “But closing or partially closing longer networks of arterials to cars on a more regular basis would require the city and the TTC to develop alternate routes and ensure the public and local merchants know what’s planned” Oh yes, don’t forget to tell the public.
