This is a joke – we already have signs.

My block has, on a 100m stretch, bracketed by two four-way-stop intersections:

1. A flashing "School Safety Zone, Drive Slowly" sign.

2. A "Community Safety Zone, Fines Increased Begins" sign.

3. "SCHOOL" written in large letters on the pavement.

4. A pedestrian crossing sign.

5. 30km/h signs before and mid-block.

6. Multiple speed bumps.

Speeding is still common. People run the stop signs constantly. And if anything both seem more common during school hours than outside of them.

I'm surprised the count isn't higher.

For comparison, TPS recorded 70,000 collisions in 2024. That's over 190 collisions per day on average in Toronto alone, not even counting the rest of the GTA.

Adding, articles keep fixating on pools ($12.8m savings) when there are $58m in total cuts. I recommend folks read the linked CBC article for a better overview.

Another notable callout being that it proposes increasing class sizes ($7.5m savings), something that just objectively will lead to a worse experience for absolutely everyone.

It's frustrating to consider how small these costs are compared to the $200 cheques the province handed out.

I can't speak to the specifics of how he was caught but I see him a few times a week on the Danforth. And it doesn't sound like he changed his habits even following this incident.

There's a different well-known guy who's responsible for most of the broken windows along the Danforth. He's technically banned from the area but to my knowledge hasn't ever hurt people directly.

I've seen the shopping cart guy (or someone identical to him) do a bunch of random property damage though. And he's often poking around people's property.
