You’ve got to stop thinking of roads as only places for cars, the Ontario Public
Health Association has told the provincial government. The group sent a letter
to the transportation ministry this month with some very polite thoughts on
revisions to its rules on pedestrian crossings. The health association’s main
thought is that those rules are misconceived. People need to walk to be healthy
and we’ve been going about roads wrong for decades. via
