I just saw someone riding a motorized wheelchair in the bus lane on Lake St... presumably because the curb cuts are making the sidewalks impassable.
The bus lane is probably safer than general traffic lane, but everything about it is so unfair and a major accessibility issue.

Playing with language and rhythm is fun, it'll be fine!
Do you have a whistle? Are you whistle trained? Is everyone in your house (above age idk 10?) trained ?
(my dogs donβt like it!)
Form a crowd stay loud. Tell targeted neighbors to stay inside when they hear whistles & donβt open the door.
