lol they're letting their kids walk on a sidewalk, the horror!
The sidewalks on almost every major street in town are 2m or less from traffic, how do you think people with kids are supposed to get places?
Ok so I'm being a bit sarcastic. I get what you're thinking. Traffic on osborne can be pretty hostile and anywhere you have fast traffic without parked cars acting as a buffer can be unpleasant and even dangerous. Unfortunately many of our high streets are like this. So maybe we as a city should be asking why our busiest pedestrian areas feel deadly to walk around and look into how we calm the traffic instead of just deciding kids don't belong out in public because there are too many dangerous cars whipping around.
Yet I see idiots on the internet arguing all the time that the parking lanes should be removed on south osborne so they can get their precious cars through faster. God forbid Osborne be a street where you can sit on a patio and enjoy yourself rather than just a traffic artery.
