I don't even stop for them anymore. If they're not at a corner or a cross walk I blare the horn and go around. I know that Canada's pedestrian laws are backwards and I'm technically supposed to stop, but I don't care anymore.

This neighbourhood sucks. So glad I live in the south.
Oh god, I meant to post this exact gear grinder last week. I work near there, so I often pop into forest lawn for lunch and it's ######ed. You have to be so on guard there.

It's just a constant mess of cars and people darting everywhere, randomly. Every few months or so you'll read about a pedestrian fatality somewhere along 17th through forest lawn, and my reaction is always "yep, makes sense. Surprised there isn't more."
