[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live near a slow street and now kids are always playing stickball in the street and the boy next door has set up a cute lemonade stand and we’ve met neighbors we’ve never met before.

Kidding!

No one uses the slow streets near us for anything but driving and parking their cars.[/b] It’s exactly the same as it was before except now there’s a big awful sign you have to drive around. I wish someone would do us a favor and steal the slow street signs. [/quote]

That's a shame. What is preventing people from using the streets for other, non-car purposes?[/quote]

I think the main issue is that people are not interested in using streets for other, non-car purposes.

They want to use streets for driving and parking their car and that’s it.[/quote]

People who? People aren't interested in walking (with or without dogs), running, skating, talking to neighbors, riding a bike, jumping rope, playing hopscotch...? People are only interested in driving their cars on the street and storing their cars on the street? That's really sad.[/quote]

Drive around. Look at the slow streets.  The proof is in the pudding.  No one uses them for anything but driving and parking. Turns out roads are a terrible substitute for yards and parks and sidewalks. My kids have plenty of places to play. [/quote]
