More Cities Banning Cars

At one time, Toronto used cobblestones inside their streetcar tracks. Most drivers would then try to avoid riding on the tracks to avoid the noise and bouncing of their tires.

We should consider either returning to cobblestones or using rubble strips on the concrete in the streetcar tracks.

Some of Queen's Quay near Spadina is still like this. Its nice but run down.
 
Though remember that the Queen's Quay streetcar is only two decades old; that is, out of the general time frame of cobbles being commonplace, so the intent was different...
 
Fair enough. I do like the cobblestone, but my preference still remains sod. It looks great and would help add some additional green to many of our corridors if used as the defacto standard.
