Here's why people want to completely ban cars from a busy Toronto park Toronto TorontoPark
is seeking an end to car traffic in High Park, calling on the public in hopes of gaining 2,000 signatures to sway the city into implementing new automobile restrictions for the busy park."We believe that High Park should become a natural refuge from the stresses of city life - a healthy environment where people can enjoy the park free of motor traffic and the accompanying air pollution, noise, and threat of injury," states organizer Car Free High Park Coalition .
The petition quotes former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who told Big Apple citizens in 2018 that"our parks are for people, not cars," when permanently closing car traffic in the city's famous Central Park.
