Back to school time! Drop-off + pick-up at our kids' elementary school in #Montreal used to be a dangerous rodeo. This year, we got approval for a rue-école (school-street). Closed to cars—open to people. I explain how we did it in this weekend's Globe: 🧵 www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

You'd figure convincing people to keep kids safe and active would be easy. In #Paris, there are 300 school-streets; London has 500. But this was an uphill battle. And #Quebec's CAQ government slashed $18 million from a fund intended for safe school zones. (Of course they did, they're awful.)
