Mississauga city council has voted to keep its residential street sports ban in place, meaning hockey and basketball on the road will remain out of bounds.

Mississauga city council has voted to keep its residential street sports ban in place, meaning hockey and basketball on the road will remain out of bounds.

The Nov. 6 vote came more than a year-and-a-half after Ward 2 Coun. Alvin Tedjo brought forward a motion aimed at amending the bylaws, noting that some residents have “weaponized” the existing rules to prevent kids from playing on their streets.

Mississauga has observed the ban since 1979. It was amended in 2010 to also include the prohibition of sporting equipment, like hockey and basketball nets, on the roadway.

Cars and car infrastructure are bankrupting cities, destroying our climate, and paving over our land. EVs don’t really solve most of this problem. We need to stop prioritizing metal boxes over people.

They might have my father’s mentality. More car lanes equals less traffic… He has a small view on life, and thinks short term. He will argue and have tantrums if you try to have a discussion. He is never wrong in his opinion, and will never change his mind.

So many people have never experienced decent mobility outside of a car that they can’t comprehend it.
