I live in a neighbourhood formed between 1910 and 1930. When I looked it up in the photo archives, I saw how the road was a single piece spanning the entire width of the street, front door to front door. I saw how children and people just walked and played on it. A horse carriage moving through it. Nowadays from left to right it's a small side-walk, parked cars, a road for cars, a small strip for cyclists and another small side-walk. I really want to go back to having just a big wide lane for general use.
