i hope so. i think making pedestrian friendly streets are something we are scared to try because its new, but i dont think its a bad thing.
Only if you ignore the >100 years during which Toronto existed before cars. Downtown areas do not benefit from car traffic, the more inner roads that can be converted to walking/biking/bus/streetcar only use the better.
Do not want to try because the people don’t want to give up the rural life, you mean.
Originally cities were built to free the people from having to use any form of transportation beyond their own two feet. They have slowly transitioned into wannabe rural areas because people have become increasingly enamoured with the idea of living like farmers, needing to get into a vehicle every time they go to do something.
