Toronto shopping street
Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car.
In fact, it was 4%.
And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%.
Retailers routinely overestimate the # of βcar customers.β Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...
If you haven't parked your hire e-vehicle like this, you've parked it incorrectly.
β’ on a 2m+wide footpath
β’ right along the street edge, NOT the building edge or (of course) in the middle of the footpath
If you can't park properly on the footpath, just park on the gutter/street please.
As a Canadian living in Australia, this is excellent news. For both countries.
