Not sure what this post is getting at, but the Toronto Transportation “development standards” do not include an option for a car-free public street.

To my knowledge, post-1950, Toronto has never once created a new public street as a car-free space.

That is exactly why the City are having a hard time making Market Street permanently pedestrianised. Bizarre but..

To my understanding, there was a claim made or indicated in the discourse here that due to places like Regent Park having the issues they did because they had no car accessible streets running through it. Which would be a weird take that completely misses the plight of these areas and ignores more obvious explanations (ie. rampant poverty). Hence, a case of correlation that does equal causation.

...now, there is a chance that I did misread that conversation, to which you can consider this point mute. Either way, I hope that clears my rambling about this up a little.
