For Shamez Amlani, his dislike of car culture – for its destruction of our personal, civic and global health – led him to form Streets are for People! Since 2002, Streets are for People has been an artist / activist organization that uses trumpets, costumes and giant tricycles to “liberate the commons from the mundane rule of the private automobile”. The artist actions of the group include: Croquet in a parking spot, giant street scrabble, a major intersection turned momentarily into a public square, a piano stuck in traffic, a car cut open and filled with dirt. He was also one of the founders of Kensington Pedestrian Sundays in Toronto.
