Updated plans for Kensington Market omit pedestrian focus and people are pissed Toronto KensingtonMarket

In this new design, sidewalks will still be expanded, universally accessible rolled curbs will still be installed, streets will still have indicators of pedestrian priority and speed limits will still be reduced, but cars will still be permitted to drive on all of the same streets that they do now, and curbside, street parking will be intermittent between CafeTO patios.

Many on social media are already extremely up in arms about the car-friendliness of the design, which they find"incredibly disappointing,""anti-progress" and simply "a fucking bummer," especially compared to more forward-thinking cities that have created more vibrant streetscapes by banning cars. "Overall I think this is a win in order to move the project forward. Hopefully the stubborn few opposed in the area change their minds," one added.
