It's amazing that this issue keeps coming up. In the 1940s Toronto tried to legislate how people walked on the sidewalk, and was met with much mockery. theglobeandmail.com/drive/mo…

Do the rules of the road apply on sidewalks?

Across Canada, provincial traffic laws require cars to keep right on roads, but they don’t apply to pedestrians on sidewalks

“The kinds of figures we’re talking about—that would actually save public money, remember—are rounding errors in most transportation budgets. So cities are literally wasting public money by not investing in smart bike infrastructure.” - @BrentToderian dailyhive.com/vancouver/biki…

Opinion: Why more urban cycling saves everyone money | Daily Hive | Urbanized

The resulting benefits of a ‘car-less’ household are myriad, but few are as quantifiable as the money most people sink into a depreciating asset that sits unused for 95% of the time.
