In High Park in Toronto, the city has banned cars from entering. This has caused a protest movement in which a lot of senior citizens are complaining about accessibility.

I'm 62 years old and on occasion take a long 1+ hr 19km ride from my home to that park. I know everybody has his own story but our car-centric culture has turned everything into an accessibility issue when we make roads safer by restricting cars eventhough restricting cars improves accessibility.

I hope that I'll still be riding long distances when I'm 80 and by then so will some of those protestors when they visit the park.
