Also, crime rates are lower in rural areas than in urban city centers, and
police response times are much slower in rural areas than in urban areas due to the lower population density which means
long distances from a
police station to the average crime scene.
The truth will be out this September, when the Bloor Street «pilot project» is evaluated, when the drivers complain about their trip being slowed down, when the retailers complain that the removal of parking spaces hurt their businesses, when the
police and fire services complain about
longer response times.
